Cloud Application Management
OpenNebulaApps is a suite of tools for users and administrators of OpenNebula to simplify and optimize cloud application management. OpenNebulaApps provides a service management layer on top of OpenNebula by configuring the software stack in the applications, managing multi-tiered applications, and building your own private market to distribute applications across several OpenNebula instances.
Why OpenNebulaApps?
Thanks to OpenNebulaApps you can use an OpenNebula cloud as a platform for running fully configured services to enable Platform as a Service (PaaS), in addition to using it as a platform for running virtual infrastructure (IaaS). Because Cloud applications consist of stacks of software components, OpenNebulaApps contributes to significantly reduce the time needed to build, distribute, and build new applications.
