"We have identified common services used by cloud applications and have created generic APIs to work across cloud providers. Today, Go Cloud is launching with blob storage, MySQL database access, runtime configuration, and an HTTP server configured with request logging, tracing, and health checking. Go Cloud offers support for Google Cloud Platform (GCP) and Amazon Web Services (AWS). We plan to work with cloud industry partners and the Go community to add support for additional cloud providers very soon. "

"Cloudbreak is a RESTful Hadoop as a Service API. Once it is deployed in your favourite servlet container exposes a REST API allowing to span up Hadoop clusters of arbitrary sizes on your selected cloud provider. Provisioning Hadoop has never been easier. Cloudbreak is built on the foundation of cloud providers API (Amazon AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Compute...), Apache Ambari, Docker containers, Serf and dnsmasq."

"OpenStack and Docker will continue to dominate the open source cloud discussion. But Docker may prove to gain the most as it is also breeding a diverse ecosystem of open source projects. OpenStack is primarily contained (no pun intended) to the development of its own cloud operating system. It does integrate with OpenShift, for example, but for the most part the different groups within OpenStack do the lion's share of development. Docker's influence is such that it is affecting the overall open source community. The projects that are closely tied to Docker, such as Ansible, will continue to grow as developers seek tools to use with the fast growing container technology."

"Google Container Registry provides secure, private Docker image storage on Google Cloud Platform. While Docker provides a central registry to store public images, you may not want your images to be accessible to the world. In this case, you must use a private registry. The Google Container Registry runs on Google Cloud Platform, so can be relied upon for consistent uptime and security. The registry can be accessed through an HTTPS endpoint, so you can pull images from any machine, whether it's a Google Compute Engine instance or your own hardware."

"Cloud 66 simplifies Ops for developers by building, configuring and managing your servers on any cloud. Our Docker support provides a complete toolset for rolling out containers to production on your own infrastructure."

"Introduction In the modern era, software is commonly delivered as a service: called web apps, or software-as-a-service. The twelve-factor app is a methodology for building software-as-a-service apps that: Use declarative formats for setup automation, to minimize time and cost for new developers joining the project; Have a clean contract with the underlying operating system, offering maximum portability between execution environments; Are suitable for deployment on modern cloud platforms, obviating the need for servers and systems administration; Minimize divergence between development and production, enabling continuous deployment for maximum agility; And can scale up without significant changes to tooling, architecture, or development practices. The twelve-factor methodology can be applied to apps written in any programming language, and which use any combination of backing services (database, queue, memory cache, etc). Background The contributors to this document have been directly involved in the development and deployment of hundreds of apps, and indirectly witnessed the development, operation, and scaling of hundreds of thousands of apps via our work on the Heroku platform. This document synthesizes all of our experience and observations on a wide variety of software-as-a-service apps in the wild. It is a triangulation on ideal practices for app development, paying particular attention to the dynamics of the organic growth of an app over time, the dynamics of collaboration between developers working on the app's codebase, and avoiding the cost of software erosion. Our motivation is to raise awareness of some systemic problems we've seen in modern application development, to provide a shared vocabulary for discussing those problems, and to offer a set of broad conceptual solutions to those problems with accompanying terminology. The format is inspired by Martin Fowler's books Patterns of Enterprise Application Architecture and Refactoring. Who should

Bueno. Eso. Compartí el que me di cuenta que puso antes Pablo en vez del original por error, pero la idea entre ambos, si la obviedad es tolerable, es idéntica :) Está muy bien estructurado en cuanto que cada factor depende de los demás a la vez que los promueve. Permite un enfoque general que incluye prácticas de arquitectura - y de armado cotidiano de productos - que posibilitan llegar donde yo entiendo - según me voy enterando - que es el lugar a donde llegar. Sin embargo, creo que ni éste departamento en sus sistemas más nuevos cumple todos y cada uno de aquellos factores. Esto, lejos de ser una crítica, es una invitación para que revisemos si es el único método posible - cosa improbabilísima - o el mejor método - también bastante improblable - a seguir. Lo que sí sostengo como un absoluto - quien no lo haría - es que es un método practicable. Mi aporte mínimo es defenderlo como uno bueno.

"The Murano Project introduces an application catalog to OpenStack, enabling application developers and cloud administrators to publish various cloud-ready applications in a browsable categorized catalog. Cloud users -- including inexperienced ones -- can then use the catalog to compose reliable application environments with the push of a button."

"Docker is fast becoming one of the hottest technologies under development. Released just a year ago, the open source project for creating virtualised application containers has already caused major cloud players, from Red Hat to Google, to rethink how applications can be delivered, run, and managed, especially in cloud environments."

Why a transition to microservices and cloud development is necessary and why monolithic architectures aren't an option anymore. How to implement Docker in a cloud and continuously integrated environment and what the typical Docker-run applications look like. How NGINX and NGINX Plus can help support your migration to the modern way of building, deploying, and scaling applications.

"Knative provides a set of middleware components that are essential to build modern, source-centric, and container-based applications that can run anywhere: on premises, in the cloud, or even in a third-party data center. Knative components are built on Kubernetes and codify the best practices shared by successful real-world Kubernetes-based frameworks. It enables developers to focus just on writing interesting code, without worrying about the "boring but difficult" parts of building, deploying, and managing an application."

The Cloud Market is the most complete catalog of Amazon EC2 images.

"Datomic is a distributed database designed to enable scalable, flexible and intelligent applications, running on next-generation cloud architectures. It does this by: Bringing declarative data manipulation into the application, and the data with it Getting time, process and perception right Process (writes) require coordination Perception (reads) require none The past doesn't change Leveraging immutability, and a sound model of state Datomic has: ACID Transactions Joins A sound data model A logical query language - Datalog Thus, Datomic avoids the compromises and losses of many NoSQL solutions. In addition, it offers flexibility and power over the traditional model in supporting: Hierarchy Multi-valued attributes Minimal schema Reliable operation on unreliable, ephemeral cloud instances Time Datomic avoids manual caching and replication, complex configuration, sharding (automatic or manual), logging, locking, latching and disk management of traditional servers."

"Spinnaker is an open source, multi-cloud continuous delivery platform for releasing software changes with high velocity and confidence. Created at Netflix, it has been battle-tested in production by hundreds of teams over millions of deployments. It combines a powerful and flexible pipeline management system with integrations to the major cloud providers."
