We are excited to introduce to you the Cloudify Player, a lightweight widget that enables a quick and hassle-free way to demo new frameworks or deploy your apps on the HP Cloud or the cloud of your choice. All you have to do is click a button. Pretty ... [More] cool, huh? Open source project owners can embed the widget on their site, providing a simple test-drive experience for their users. Here’s how it works. The user accesses the widget either directly through the Cloudify Player page or from the embedded widget on the project owner’s site. The user clicks the play button, and sits back, relaxes and watches their app deploy on their cloud of choice right before their eyes. Behind the scenes, the Player communicates with a widget server that manages a pool of virtual machines deployed on the cloud, each “bootstrapped” with a running Cloudify manager. When a user click the “Play” button, the server instantly borrows a VM from the pool, connects to the Cloudify manager that runs on it over REST, issuing the recipe installation command. The application or tool is then deployed and installed on the server, providing the user with a hassle-free demo. The Cloudify Player takes you from simple trial to full production in a matter of minutes. Check it out today! For more information about the Player, please see Uri Cohen’s blog post Introducing the Cloudify Player as well as Nati Shalom’s blog post Using the Cloudify Player as an Open Source Framework for Building Your Own Cloud Application Marketplace on OpenStack. Send us your feedback and let us know if you have any questions. Enjoy! [Less]

A Groovy Kind of Java Check out Sayeret Lambda’s upcoming meetup with Cloudify’s Barak Merimovich.  A domain-specific language (DSL) is a programming language or specification language dedicated to a particular problem domain, a particular problem ... [More] representation technique, and/or a particular solution technique. Cloudify, the open-source PaaS stack, uses a Groovy-based DSL to define ‘recipes’ which include all of the information required to run a service in the cloud, including lifecycle, monitoring, scaling and more. The Groovy DSL is integrated into the Java based Cloudify stack. In this talk Barak will discuss why we chose to use a DSL, and why Groovy specifically, and how the DSL is implemented. Register today! When: Tuesday, May 7th at 6:30 PM Where: Google Campus Tel Aviv - Electra Tower, 98 Yigal Alon Street (26th Floor), Tel Aviv, Israel (map) See you there! [Less]
