This is an early version of a deck I am working on to describe the clients and tools that you can use with CloudStack. CloudMonkey is covered in another presentation, apache libcloud is a python package which provides abstractions to many cloud providers, deltacloud is a ruby abstraction layer similar to libcloud which provides a standard CIMI frontend, jclouds is a leading abstraction for java applications. Apache Whirr builds on jclouds to provide on-demand big data infrastructure on clouds. All tools are within the Apache Software Foundation, either top level projects of in the incubator (jclouds). this makes the ASF a one stop shop for your cloudplatform, your big data solution and your cloud clients. With Stratos from WSO2 joining the incubator, this means that the ASF now has a PaaS solution, completing the cloud ecosystem. One foundation, clear governance and processes, IaaS, BigData, PaaS and clients.

4. libcloud
• Python module that
provides a Cloud
Provider API abstraction
• Ability to write apps
using multiple providers
• Now with an improved
CloudStack driver

5. jClouds
• Under Incubation at the
Apache Software
Foundation (ASF)
• Wrapper to multiple
cloud providers
• Basis of many Cloud
tools

6. Deltacloud
• Cloud Provider API
abstraction
• Good way to get a
DMTF CIMI interface
• Avoid lock-in for apps ?

7. Ruby client …

8. Stackmate…AWS CF

9. GCE

10. Apache
Whirr
• Big Data Provisioning
tool
• Deploys Hadoop, cdh,
Hbase, Yarn, etc in the
Cloud
• Use jclouds
• Works with multiple
cloud providers
including CloudStack

11. Chef with knife-cs

12. Conclusion
• Build your Open Cloud with Apache Software
Foundation software
PaaS ?
