Infrastructure Manager
Automating deployment of virtual infrastructures on EGI Cloud
What is it?
Infrastructure Manager (IM) is a tool that orchestrates the deployment of custom virtual infrastructures on multiple backends. It streamlines the access and usability of Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) clouds by automating the configuration, deployment, software installation and update, and monitoring of virtual infrastructures.
IM is integrated with the EGI Check-in Service and supports a wide variety of backends, either federated (such as EGI Cloud Compute), public (such as Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud or Microsoft Azure) or on-premises (such as OpenStack), thus making user applications cloud agnostic. IM features a web-based GUI, an XML-RPC API, a REST API and a command-line interface (CLI). It supports OASIS TOSCA Simple Profile in YAML.
