Cloudify enables you to deploy applications using two main methods:
- Using the CLI only
- Using a Cloudify Manager
Cloudify Manager is a dedicated environment comprising an open-source stack which enables you to:
- Utilize plugins (such as Docker, Script, Chef and Puppet plugins) to manage application hosts
- Keep a directory of your blueprints
- Create multiple deployments for each blueprint and install them
- Execute healing, scaling and other custom workflows on your installed applications
- Run multiple workflows concurrently
- View an application’s topology and perform different tasks using the Cloudify Web UI
- View metrics
- Search logs
In addition, Cloudify Manager:
- Provides a secure environment for managing applications via multiple authentication mechanisms and customizable authorization
- Retains a history of metrics and events
- Manages agents running on an application’s host machines
Although you can use Cloudify to provision resources directly from the CLI, use Cloudify Manager to manage production-level applications.
For more information about Cloudify Manager, see the Cloudify Manager section later in this user’s guide.
