The concept of DevOps and recipes can go well beyond setup, to actually accelerate the entire lifecycle of your applications, from setup, to monitoring, through maintaining high availability, and auto-scaling when required. Cloudify ties things together from an application perspective and prepares everything so that Chef can run on the proper nodes on the cloud, and then monitors and auto scales your app on any cloud

A LOT OF CHOICES

A REAL APP…

5. Ask yourself:
• Do I need additional
platforms?
• Do I need a different
OS version/type?
• Can I settle for the
underlying cloud
SLAs?

BUT IS THIS GOOD ENOUGH FOR YOU?

6.  Idea is to model your app and its components
using code (Groovy DSL, to be specific)
 Kind of like a deployment descriptor, but for
the entire stack

DEVOPS IS A GREAT PAAS ENABLER

GigaSpaces Cloudify is an open source PaaS stack that can on board any
application to any cloud without architectural or code changes.
GIGASPACES CLOUDIFY
1. Mission critical applications
2. Any cloud, any stack. No code change
3. Full control and visibility

8. CHEF & CLOUDIFY
Cloudify
 App life cycle &
orchestration (deployment
dependencies, fail-over,
auto-scaling)
 Application management &
Monitoring
App-Centric
Chef
 Infrastructure management
(OS setup, network, security
configuration)
 Setup & installation
(package, configure, install,
start)
Ops-Centric

9.  Use the right tool for the job!
 Chef is about automating the configuration of servers
 Setup
 Install
 Start
 Converge
 Probably the most powerful configuration and
automation tool out there
 Hundreds of production grade, community supported
cookbooks

WHY CHEF ?
