Mist.io presentation @ ApacheCon 2014

1. Mobile, multi-cloud management
on top of libcloud
Dimitris Moraitis, CTO & co-founder

2. The Internet
A bunch of servers. And some other things.
Things fail. All the time. Especially servers.
Someone has to fix them. Ops people.

3. The cloud
Servers become virtual
Hardware failures are somebody else’s problem
Devs write scripts that do Ops!

4. The multi-cloud
So many cloud server providers
Variety of features, specs and pricing policies
Getting the best out of each can be messy

5. Apache libcloud
Unified programming interface for the clouds!
Supports many features from many clouds
Clean & neat Python code

6. Things still failing :(
Mostly on the software layer.
Devs have to do Ops.
We want to have normal lives & 24/7 uptime.

7. Our backstory: unweb.me
Design, develop and operate software systems
Clients across continents & clouds
4 person team, 24/7 uptime required by clients

8. Things fail badly
Can we always carry a laptop?
How about a smartphone or tablet?
But can we fix stuff with them?

9. Manage servers across clouds from
everywhere
Actionable monitoring
REST API & responsive HTML5 frontend

10. Combine clouds
& bare metal

11. Monitoring & automation

12. Control from everywhere
