Thank you. Now that you've summarized this, this sounds like a great idea, a good way to kill lock-in on cloud platforms. I don't know why they couldn't write something so simple and concise...

Does that not mean that you can then only use the common aspects from the various cloud providers, and miss out on the additional features each supports?

The general rule of thumb for building big things that work long term is build anything in-house that you can't source from multiple vendors.

Struggling to wade through the thicket of buzzwords. What is this? Looks a bit like OpenShift or something?

It's a multi-cloud application orchestrator. OneOps lets you design your application in a cloud agnostic way (by abstracting multiple cloud providers). It manages your application's design, deployments, operations & monitoring. At the moment these cloud providers are supported - http://oneops.com/integrations.html#clouds

Its a Multi-Cloud Orchestrator. It lets you abstract multiple cloud providers, so you can say use Azure, S3 , Rackspace Openstack, your own openstack and your own VMware all at the same time, and have unified management. At the moment it supports any cloud with a OpenStack endpoint/integration. Blog post: http://www.walmartlabs.com/2016/01/oneops-now-available/

...kill lock-in, as long as everyone in the whole world acts like an OpenStack interface. Not interested.

it's looks like just control panel for all your clouds. If you have only aws, i don't see any profit of using this.

IMO, it is more than that. It allows you to model your application (currently supports these software stacks http://oneops.com/integrations.html#software) in a cloud agnostic way and manages it's life-cycle

"Accelerating product delivery in the Digital Economy through Continuous Application Lifecycle Management of Cloud-based Workload, backed by @WalmartLabs" I think you could work on that elevator pitch a little - it seems like it's been workshopped by a committee, and doesn't really tell me anything.

You just gotta love IT departments at non-tech corporations. Shudder

No Python support. Moving on.

You might want to take a look at https://github.com/StackStorm/st2 if you want python support, chatops, UI, a GUI editor for writing workflows and a strong community.

Disclaimer: I am a programmer at StackStorm. I'd be happy to help.

So you mean the IT departments that represent the majority of all businesses in the entire world? Yes, they work their butts off.

So walmart thought this startup was worth buying to manage all their different applications running in different clouds. Fast forward a couple years and they've now open sourced the entire product. That's pretty cool.

agreed it's great to see this sort of path, and that the tech has been open sourced

I was just about to post the same thing. So much business-speak, no idea what in the world this could be.

You might want to brush up on business speak, that's the real reason for writing the vast majority of all software ever written or that will be written in this century.

The chef code that deploys all the apps is pretty old skool, copy pasta'd from opensource cookbooks in alot of places, will never pass food critic or rubocop, and has no tests. I wouldn't really want to run that code on anything.

Because opensource cookbooks are unreliable or people should only rely on your cookbooks? Or old skool isn't new skool so it should be wholly disregarded?
