ApacheCon NA 2015

The Apache-incubating Brooklyn project gives a deploy-and-manage framework for any application. We'll show how blueprints for standing up complex software -- on metal, in clouds, docker or paas -- are written in Brooklyn, using the YAML syntax or the Java libraries, and then how at runtime this becomes a model of the running software. This view is essentially a control plane for applications, and this talk will cover autonomic control policies including scaling, failover, and upgrades, as part of the testable, source-controlled blueprint. With example blueprints including Apache Spark, Kafka, Hadoop and Ambari, Cassandra and ActiveMQ, Brooklyn can offer many projects better integration testing, streamlined used first-touch experience, and runtime ops dashboards. And as an incubation project, we're on the hunt for more beneficiaries and contributors.
