Best Application Development Software for OpenStack

Kubernetes (K8s) is an open-source system for automating deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications. It groups containers that make up an application into logical units for easy management and discovery. Kubernetes builds upon 15 years of experience of running production workloads at Google, combined with best-of-breed ideas and practices from the community. Designed on the same principles that allows Google to run billions of containers a week, Kubernetes can scale without increasing your ops team. Whether testing locally or running a global enterprise, Kubernetes flexibility grows with you to deliver your applications consistently and easily no matter how complex your need is. Kubernetes is open source giving you the freedom to take advantage of on-premises, hybrid, or public cloud infrastructure, letting you effortlessly move workloads to where it matters to you.

Cloud Foundry makes it faster and easier to build, test, deploy and scale applications, providing a choice of clouds, developer frameworks, and application services. It is an open source project and is available through a variety of private cloud distributions and public cloud instances. Cloud Foundry has a container-based architecture that runs apps in any programming language. Deploy apps to CF using your existing tools and with zero modification to the code. Instantiate, deploy, and manage high-availability Kubernetes clusters with CF BOSH on any cloud. By decoupling applications from infrastructure, you can make individual decisions about where to host workloads – on premise, in public clouds, or in managed infrastructures – and move those workloads as necessary in minutes, with no changes to the app.

Appvance IQ (AIQ) delivers transformational productivity gains and lower costs in both test creation and execution. For test creation, it offers both AI-driven (fully machine-generated tests) and also 3rd-generation, codeless scripting. It then executes those scripts through data-driven functional, performance, app-pen and API testing — for both web and mobile apps. AIQ’s self-healing technology gives you complete code coverage with just 10% the effort of traditional testing systems. Most importantly, AIQ finds important bugs autonomously, with little effort. No coding, scripting, logs or recording required. AIQ is easy to integrate with your current DevOps tools and processes. Appvance IQ was developed by a pioneering team who envisioned a better way to test. Their innovative vision has been made possible by applying differentiated, patented AI methods to test creation while leveraging today’s high-availability compute resources for massive levels of parallel execution.

Software developers typically build source code and run tests on their local machines. EngFlow Remote Execution distributes builds and tests across a cluster of machines and remotely caches the results to make them faster. Review your build and test results on various devices, be it your workstation, laptop — or one of your colleague’s. It’s a game-changer for collaborating remotely. Console output is verbose and convoluted. We split data into views to highlight what you’re looking for. Just in case, one view includes the full console output, streamed live as your builds and tests run. Build and test setups vary on machines. We provide the invocation details for each execution, such as platform, git branch and commit, and implicit and explicit flags set. This lets you reproduce a run, both for debugging and for recreating a prior release.

Provisioning and managing cloud native infrastructure doesn’t have to be a moonshot. In fact, it can be as simple as point-and-click. Mirantis Container Cloud gives administrators and developers the power to deploy Kubernetes and OpenStack environments from a single pane of glass—across on-prem, hosted bare metal, and public cloud. No more scheduling work around updates. Get access to new features faster—with zero downtime for clusters and workloads. Give your developers the power to effortlessly create, observe, and manage Kubernetes clusters, all with custom guardrails. Mirantis Container Cloud gives you a single console to manage your entire hybrid infrastructure estate. Mirantis Container Cloud deploys, manages, and maintains both Mirantis Kubernetes Engine container-based deployments and Mirantis OpenStack for Kubernetes virtualization environments.

It brings communities together — regardless of their choice of tools — by making it easy to share code, bug reports, translations and ideas across projects. With Launchpad, you can share bug reports, statuses, patches and comments across project boundaries. You can even share bug data with other trackers, such as Bugzilla and Trac. There's also everything else you need in a bug tracker: web, email and API interfaces, links between bugs and fixes, team-based delegation and more. When they're ready, they can upload their branch to Launchpad and propose it for merging back into your trunk. Code review — by web and email — gives you a public forum to discuss and approve or reject the merge. Launchpad makes translation easy for everyone. Translators get a simple web interface, with automatic suggestions from a library of more than 16 million strings.

Kata Containers is Apache 2 licensed software consisting of two main components: the Kata agent, and the Kata Containerd shim v2 runtime. It also packages a Linux kernel and versions of QEMU, Cloud Hypervisor and Firecracker hypervisors. Kata Containers are as light and fast as containers and integrate with the container management layers—including popular orchestration tools such as Docker and Kubernetes (k8s)—while also delivering the security advantages of VMs. Kata Containers supports Linux (host and guest) for now. On the host side, we have installation instructions for several popular distributions. We also have out-of-the-box support for Clear Linux, Fedora, and CentOS 7 rootfs images through the OSBuilder which can also be used to roll your own guest images.

OES is highly available and scalable for increasing deployment workloads, and extensible to integrate with multiple SDLC tool chains. OES offers easy-to-define custom stages to parallely deploy into any number of targets and save time. Action such as rollback or roll forward or stopping of all the parallel deployments is easy and can be done with a click. Automate repeated activities in your SDLC process by the ability to create as many child pipelines and invoke them in the parent pipeline. OES is modular and can act as a central CD tool for many enterprises because it uses an API-based architecture. Developers across the team can easily integrate external services with Spinnaker services for deployment orchestration.
