Cloud Infrastructure and DevOps with Puppet Enterprise 2.0 and Citrix CloudStack 3 #citrix #puppet

Cloud Infrastructure and DevOps with Puppet Enterprise 2.0 and Citrix CloudStack 3:

Cloud Operations


Efficient IT operations are becoming more and more critical to business success. Businesses are looking for solutions that enable rapid provisioning and management of the application life cycle so they can deliver new products and services faster and more efficiently. Citrix CloudStack 3 provides core enabling functionality for businesses to move to a Cloud operations model. Citrix CloudStack 3 empowers organizations to dynamically allocate, computational, network and storage resources and reduce the provisioning bottlenecks associated with conventional data-center management.


Reusable Infrastructure Components


With Puppet Enterprise, administrators and developers can build unified models for application deployment. Puppet Enterprise is built for the cloud and with almost 300 community contributed modules the dream of fully automated infrastructure and application deployment has never been easier to realize. Puppet makes it easy to build reuse and share application and system configuration models.


Transitioning to the Cloud


Citrix CloudStack 3 and Puppet Enterprise 2.0 deliver an operational tool kit that enables businesses to transition workloads between traditional bare metal infrastructure and internal or external clouds. Puppet Enterprise enables users to model applications, infrastructure, and security requirements. Those models can be used to seamlessly migrate development, testing, and production infrastructures from traditional bare-metal infrastructure to internal or external clouds.


Living the DevOps Dream


DevOps is a cultural shift from silo-ed operational and development team to integrated DevOps teams. Automated configuration management and on demand infrastructure are enabling technologies for this shift. On demand infrastructure enables developers to develop and test their applications in environments that mirror their ultimate production environments. Automating configuration management tasks and managing infrastructure as reusable code allows the infrastructure requirements to carry through the development and testing phases and cleanly into production. With these tools, organizations can deploy often and with confidence. Puppet Enterprise and Citrix CloudStack 3 enable customers to make the shift to DevOps today!
