Cloudify
Cloudify is an open-source platform for automating infrastructure, cloud-native services, and distributed edge resources across multiple clouds. Its service-composition DSL lets teams describe services that combine Cloudify with other orchestration domains. Cloudify Manager maintains blueprints and deployments, runs workflows, and displays application topology, metrics, and logs. Official plugins support Docker, Helm, Kubernetes, and Terraform; documented integrations include AWS, Azure, Ansible, and Jenkins. Cloudify also documents CI/CD connections with Jenkins, GitHub Actions, and CircleCI. Its feature overview describes secret storage, encrypted internal communication, multi-tenancy, and role-based access control. Community and Premium can be deployed with Docker, a VM, or Kubernetes and a Helm chart; SaaS is hosted. The Community plan is 0.00 USD per free with no time limit, but requires Docker or a VM and cloud-provider access to run workloads. The Premium trial is 0.00 USD per free for 60 days and requires Docker, cloud access, and a valid activation license.
Who it is for
Cloudify suits organizations moving to public cloud or cloud-native architecture that need to automate infrastructure and edge resources. It can also suit teams that need self-hosted deployment or SaaS.
