This document discusses application centric DevOps and orchestration tools. It contrasts infrastructure centric versus application centric approaches. Infrastructure centric tools like configuration management focus on defining directives and scripts to configure master and child nodes. Application centric tools like Cloudify focus on mapping application dependencies, deploying applications across infrastructure, and automating monitoring, healing and scaling of applications. The document provides an example of how PaddyPower uses Cloudify for continuous delivery and discusses how Cloudify integrates with configuration tools like Chef to provide deployment, post-deployment and advanced orchestration capabilities.

13. DevOps Automation: PaddyPower
• Ireland's largest online betting
service.
• Use Cloudify for Continues
Delivery
• Stack: Cloudify, Chef, Cloud Stack
• Reason for Choosing Cloudify
– PAAS strives to abstract provisioning and
deployment thus reducing complexity.
– PAAS constrains applica'ons to use features
provided by the platform.
– Cloudify was geared to work in DevOps
environment
What are the Specific Features in Cloudify that Makes it DevOps Oriented?I will use Matt Jaynes’ definition from his book Taste Test:Directive & Directives Script - Cloudify currently uses Groovy-based recipes with extended DSL as its directives. The Cloudify recipe allows you to combine Chef or Puppet directives as part of the Cloudify recipie. Our future release will include support for Yaml/TOSCA directives and may also include support for Ansible.Master Node & Children Nodes - Cloudify automatically bootstraps Master and Child nodes. It has a cloud plug-in that will allow you to automate this entire process and avoid any manual host/IP configuration. The Cloudify integration with Chef takes care of provisioning of Chef Master and Child nodes as well.Remote Execution - Cloudify uses custom-commands as a way to route calls to a group of individual sets of service instances. The integration with Chef includes built-in custom commands for updating Chef Coookbooks as well as for executing Chef-Knife and other Chef commands as described here.In addition, Cloudify provides built-in services to query the state of the cluster through the ServiceContext API and share states across services in the cluster through the Attribute Store API.- See more at: http://natishalom.typepad.com/nati_shaloms_blog/2013/10/an-application-centric-approach-to-devops.html#sthash.k5cKhWhX.dpuf
