Cloudify is an open source software cloud and NFV orchestration product originally created by GigaSpaces Technologies, and then spun off into its own company.[2][3]

Overview

Cloudify uses the OASIS TOSCA technology and is written in the Python programming language.[4] It is licensed under the Apache License Version 2.0,[5] and its source files can be found and forked on GitHub.[6] Built on a YAML DSL (Domain Specific Language) configuration files called "blueprints" define the application's configurations, services and their tier dependencies. With these Cloudify automates the deployment phases of applications to Cloud computing and Virtualization infrastructure. The blueprints describe how the application interacts with the data center through APIs to execute the defined blueprint configurations.

These blueprint files describe the execution plans for the lifecycle of the application for installing, starting, terminating, orchestrating and monitoring the application stack. Cloudify uses the blueprint as input that describes the deployment plan and is responsible for executing it in the cloud environments. The blueprint also employs cloud driver configuration files as well, to describe machines and their images for the chosen cloud, making it possible to manage the infrastructure as code. For each component, it describes the location of your binaries, installation and monitoring configurations. By creating an abstraction layer that isolates the code from the underlying infrastructure, Cloudify is able to support any cloud.[7][8][9][10]

Cloudify also supports configuration management tools like Chef Puppet, Ansible for the application deployment phase, as a method of deploying and configuring application services.[11][12][13]

Industry Recognition

Cloudify was mentioned in marketing publications, including: the VentureBeat CloudBeat Showdown 2011,[14] the CRN 20 Coolest Cloud Platforms & Development Vendors 2012, 2014, and 2018 [15][16][17] the 2012 SD Times 100: A Software Development Superfecta[18] as a cloud leader, was recognized by Frost & Sullivan with the 2015 Global Frost & Sullivan Award for New Product Innovation.[19]

Cloudify, together with VMware and Athonet, won the 2016 “Best of Show” Award at the Tokyo Interop event, for the demonstration of the fastest and simplest cloud-based deployment of a virtualized LTE mobile packet core & VoLTE service.[20]

Cloudify was featured in a breakdown of NFV Orchestration Platforms by Mirantis and emerged as the "most mature orchestration solution among the reviewed platforms".[21]

The Agile Reference Implementation of Automation (ARIA), an open source MANO group spawned from Cloudify,[22] won “MANO Software of the Year” at the Network Virtualization Industry 2016 Awards.[23]

Cloudify was awarded the 2017 LAYER123 Network Transformation Award for Best vCPE/uCPE Enterprise Service in the Cloud & Carrier Service category. [24][25]
