What is glu?

glu is a free/open source deployment and monitoring automation platform.

What problems does glu solve?

glu is solving the following problems:

• deploy (and monitor) applications to an arbitrary large set of nodes:

• efficiently

• with minimum/no human interaction

• securely

• in a reproducible manner

• ensure consistency over time (prevent drifting)

• detect and troubleshoot quickly when problems arise

How does it work?

glu takes a very declarative approach, in which you describe/model what you want, and glu can then:

• compute the set of actions to deploy/upgrade your applications
• ensure that it remains consistent over time
• detect and alert you when there is a mismatch
