Orchestration is a key concept in the world of Cloud computing. It is needed to glue automated tasks together in the right order and to manage complex workflows and processes. Without orchestration you will spend valuable hours of your time connecting to servers and running tasks manually.
Read More...[size=120]Cloud servers are like cattle. You shoot them when they are sick and introduce new ones, which makes cloud infrastructure very dynamic. It becomes hard to keep track of running services and infrastructure configurations. Suppose, you are hosting a web application on cloud. You have to set up HAProxy with a pool of frontend and backend servers for load balancing and high availability. You need to add/ remove servers in your pool to serve the traffic load. When a new server comes up, your infrastructure does not know about it or the service it provides. Also, you need to remove entries of left servers from your HAProxy, so traffic doesn’t get directed to them. You suddenly find yourself that you are not the cowboy who can drive tens of thousands of cows over great distances anymore, but a worried owner of puppies. We need a service discovery system where we can query newly introduced nodes and services, and get notified when a node and service becomes unavailable. We also need a configuration management system to update and validate the configurations of the servers and the infrastructure.
Read More...[size=120]Some months ago, I was reading a technical blog where it said that every five years system architecture and management professionals experiment with new emerging technologies that can change “the things we are used to”. In 2015, We are observing containers (or dockers) and orchestrators of containers such as Kubernetes as a game changer. This combination will provide an improvement for companies in their application deployment methodology. For an example, ECmanaged, a cloud-based company which is specialized in designing, deploying and maintaining IT platforms, is starting to use containers.

The Mad Men scenario where the creative director comes up with a great dreamy message to sell a product and his team only has to turn that message into a catchy television spot or billboard are long gone. Today, creative agencies need not only publish their message on building-size billboards and glossies to be successful. Today’s campaigns are measured in clicks, visits, downloads and subscriptions.

In fact, the phrase above that’s considered a metaphor about the power of innovation, is frequently taken literally, with more than 4,400 patents issued by the United States Patent and Trademark Office for new mousetraps, with thousands more unsuccessful applicants, making them the most frequently invented device in US history.And in the rarefied world of multi-cloud management, ECmanaged has certainly “built a better mousetrap.”First, let’s talk about the importance of cloud management tools. Today’s cloud customers face the problem of plenty where there are many providers in the market with complementary competencies, but no single solution that meets all their requirements. Consequently, they typically subscribe to multiple services from multiple providers.
