The Cloudify Blog

I’m taking a break from blogging about my various Openstack related shenanigans. This time I want to talk about monitoring cloud usage. I work with IaaS clouds – lots of them. The list includes several different AWS accounts and several HP cloud accounts. It also… Read More

This post was originally published on Developer.com. Docker is everything. Some have even claimed that it can prevent crime and famine. (I probably don’t need to ask you to note the sarcastic tone). But seriously, for the disruption it has brought… Read More

When we design the blueprint, it’s important to think about when certain data is available. Inputs to the blueprint can be used at any time, but some data is only available at runtime. In my previous post What is a Workflow? I described the basic… Read More

The Pain Point Many developers often need to create easily reproducible development environments – for anything from testing to troubleshooting, and even continued development across teams. To this end, many technologies have arisen to answer this need from Vagrant… Read More
