Heat and Its Alternatives: Application Deployment in OpenStack

When dealing with the deployment of arbitrarily complex virtual application stacks, OpenStack comes with a highly powerful built-in facility: Heat. However, Heat is not the only way to deploy applications within OpenStack — in this session, we'll look at Heat plus two available alternatives: Juju, and Cloudify.

In particular, this session covers the following questions:

  • How can I deploy applications with Heat, Juju, and Cloudify?
  • What architectural assumptions does each tool make?
  • How can I deploy multi-node cloud applications?
  • How specific to OpenStack is each solution?
  • What's my expected learning curve?

Having worked with all three tools extensively, we're able to give an unbiased, impartial comparison of all three tools.

 


What can I expect to learn?

You can expect to gain a solid understanding of the characteristics of Heat, Juju, and Cloudify, and make an informed decision on which tool you should select for deploying your application to an OpenStack environment.
