“The real power of cloud computing is the flexibility to choose how much compute
you need, where and when you need it, and to move your application stack to a
different infrastructure at any time,” said Christopher Brown, CTO, Opscode.
“By
delivering API integration with VMware vCloud, Terremark, Blue Box and many
others, Opscode Chef gives customers the flexibility to make the most of the
cloud, ensuring they can easily automate the full application stack in
any
compute environment.”
Opscode Chef works with VMware vCloud to facilitate the creation and management
of vCloud instances directly from the command-line, ensuring private cloud
infrastructure is consistent and scalable. Meanwhile, Opscode Chef integrates
with
VMware vCloud public cloud providers Terremark and Blue Box to enable
customers to easily move projects between private the public clouds, reducing
infrastructure management and improving operational efficiency.
Opscode Chef provides recipes – re-usable configuration templates – for
everything from rebuilding environments to deploying applications. In addition,
the open source Chef community features 16,000
registered users, 760 individual contributors, 140 corporate contributors and
500 cookbooks, providing a rich ecosystem of support for VMware vCloud customers
looking to make the most
of their investment in the cloud.
