Benefits
TOSCA-Based Blueprint Modeling
Blueprint modeling is one of the powerful and innovative features included in Cloudify. With this feature, developers will be able to create blueprints of application topologies using a human-readable data serialization language called YAML ((YAML Ain’t Markup Language). YAML is actually the language used for writing TOSCA-based definitions. TOSCA is a specification that provides developers a standard way to describe the components of their applications, systems, and cloud infrastructures and how these components are connected to each other.
Dynamic, Robust, And User-Friendly Graphic Editor
With Cloudify, creating TOSCA-based blueprints to produce application topology models is a breeze. This is because the platform is built with a user-friendly, dynamic, and robust drawing tool and graphical editor called Composer which has a drag-and-drop UI design.
Access And Manipulate Data Using Templates
The cloud orchestration platform is built with templates that are dedicated to different types of users depending on their roles. These templates are comprised of predefined pages that allow users to quickly access the data they need as well as view specific areas of the platform. For instance, there is a set of templates that they can use if they want to run and manage services, and another set is available for orchestrating the infrastructure and configuring the settings of the platform.
Out-Of-The-Box Widgets
Cloudify also offers a diverse collection of out-of-the-box widgets that enables users to view data within the platform, collect data from third-party systems, and perform specific actions. Organized in a catalog and regarded as the building blocks of the platform’s architecture, the widgets let users view blueprints, deployments, and executions, access plugins and lists of snapshots, and track the users, tenants, and groups who are using the platform.
Create And Configure Custom Widgets
In addition, users can build and design their own widgets; and add them to the built-in widgets found in the catalog. Thus, they will be able to combine different sets of widgets and decide which widgets they want to include in each template or page. As they create custom widgets, they can configure how each widget will function, how it will present data, and who can access it.
Tenant Management
Tenant management is another feature available in Cloudify. With this feature, users can organize their cloud resources into separate tenants. These tenants can be accessed from the component of the platform called Cloud Manager. Because of this, users are allowed to access resources only from the tenants that are assigned to them. This clearly defines which team members can upload blueprints, executions, deployments, and other resources to specific tenants.
