0.3.x Overview
Why. Objectives. Demo. Internals.
asavu@axemblr.com

2. What?
• A service that can create and manage
pools of 10s or 100s of virtual machines
• A pool should match the same set of
assumptions on all clouds (os, dns,
packages, networking, ssh, vpn etc.)

3. Why?
• To create clusters with 50+ nodes for
Hadoop with pre-installed binaries
• ... and use tools like Cloudera Manager or
Ambari for configuration (leverage API)
• Why? Environment normalisation. Template
caching (auto-ami). Hidden behind an API.
Persistence. Traceability. Easy to restart.
