TOSCA-based cloud orchestration and deployment with Infrastructure Manager (IM)

The Infrastructure Manager (IM) is a framework that eases the access and the usability of IaaS clouds by automating the deployment, configuration, software installation, monitoring and update of Virtual Appliances. It supports APIs from a large number of virtual platforms, making user applications cloud-agnostic. In addition it integrates a contextualization system to enable the installation and configuration of all the user required applications providing the user with a fully functional infrastructure.

It is a service that features a web-based GUI, a XML-RPC API, a REST API and a command-line application. In this webinar we will focus on the usage of the IM Dashboard, an easy-to-use web interface, designed for users to deploy a set of predefined and well tested customizable virtual infrastructures (Kubernetes, SLURM, JupyterHub, …) on top of a wide range of cloud providers (EGI Cloud Compute and also commercial and open clouds – AWS, Google Cloud, Azure, OpenStack, OpenNebula, …) with a set of mouse clicks. Furthermore it uses a two-step wizard that enables to compose more complex templates, as it will be shown in the demo.
