Automate Cloud Application Deployments with Eucalyptus and AWS CloudFormation

With the robust HA and IAM capabilities in Eucalyptus, organizations can deliver production grade on-premise cloud infrastructure for highly available and secure applications that are also compatible with AWS.
 
And while there are many great open source cloud tools available, cloud administrators also need a framework to easily mix and match these tools to fit their unique requirements.  When they can then automate the full application lifecycle including deployment, configuration management, operations, and monitoring - the promise of cloud is realized.

Now you can have a simple, standard, way to automate cloud resource configuration, provisioning, and deployment for AWS and Eucalyptus deployments.

View the on-demand webinar to see how Cloud Sidekick’s Cato Cloud Orchestration Platform can extend Eucalyptus clouds with:

• Flexibility and Choice: An on-premise framework to orchestrate the use of best-of-breed open source tools (Chef / Puppet, Zabbix / Zenoss, etc.)
• Portable Deployment Automation: AWS CloudFormation compatible deployment automation (provisioning, configuration management, and de-provisioning)
• Agentless Operational Management: Parameter driven operational automation with resource tagging via agentless instance management

During the webinar, we’ll demonstrate a single CloudFormation template being used to provision and configure the same multi-tier application on both AWS and Eucalyptus. We’ll also demonstrate how IAM can be used to dynamically create application specific access controls for highly secure configurations.
