3.1.3 Open source cloud automation and configuration tooling for AIX
IBM has expanded its commitment to keep key open source cloud management packages
updated and to provide timely security fixes to enable clients to take advantage of open
source skills. IBM Power Systems servers are well positioned to take advantage of key
packages that were recently provided to enable cloud automation. This section lists several
key packages.
Chef
Chef is an automation platform that provides automation for configuration, deployment, and
management of virtual machines. It is based on a client/server architecture where the server
stores the policies that are applied to nodes, called cookbooks, and their associated
metadata. After a cookbook is created, it can be applied to a client virtual machine being
deployed, configuring this VM according to the established policies automatically.
Note: At the time of writing, the performance and inventory applications are initially
scheduled to be offered in a technology preview in 2016 and to be followed by a full GA
offering with more applications in 2017.
