- Automation Cloudify
Orchestration can be viewed as part of an automation continuum- even though, of course, all software is essentially automation. Layer upon layer of abstraction has been built to improve productivity and understand complex systems. The cloud revolution is built up these abstractions, going beyond mere application logic to the computer itself; these abstractions are the […]

In our data-driven world, remarkable growth in network traffic has led to the dramatic expansion of network infrastructure. Manual, script-based legacy network management methods can no longer keep up with the speed of business. As a result, we have seen the emergence of network automation, where physical and virtual devices on a network are configured, […]

Why Service Orchestration Matters… and Why You Need To Care.
- By Jonny Rosen,
- August 1, 2019
- Cloudify Orchestration Orchestration as a service
The rising demand for services in the cloud calls for a new approach to cloud orchestration. Traditional VM-centric cloud architectures are often rigid and poorly suited for the quick and smooth deployment of new services and technologies. To thrive in a service-oriented market, companies must be able to efficiently orchestrate components such as microservices and […]

- Cloudify ETSI NFV
Open-source as a way to drive open standard has been one of the founding concepts behind Cloudify’s strategy since day-one. The speed in which the cloud infrastructure world is evolving is fast leading towards continued fragmentation and changes. Driving open standard in such a world is therefore challenging to say the least. One of the […]

- TOSCA TOSCA Orchestration
Alan R. Earls recently wrote an article on TechTarget: TOSCA and other cloud standardization efforts stall where he pointed out the state of TOSCA as well as other cloud standardization efforts: “TOSCA was originally designed as an open standard for formatting templates so tasks, such as cloud resource deployment and orchestration, could be translated into […]

- Automation Automation First Cloud TOSCA
One of the main challenges when working on an automation project is writing the automation templates. Each cloud provider has its own template language, which means that you can’t reuse artifacts that were already written by other frameworks. This makes many automation projects substantially longer than they would have been otherwise. This article explores how […]
