Use cases
- IT as a Service
An IT organization wants to control applications, available to cloud users. Application management should be simple and not time-consuming. Users should be able to easily find and create the desired applications.
- Self-service portal
You may want to create compound combinations of applications dynamically from simple app blocks. And you can create an environment that satisfies your requirements in a matter of minutes. Examples of such an environment may be “Jenkins+Java+Tomcat” or “Jenkins+Gerrit+Java+JBoss”. So testing application in different environment combinations becomes easier.
- Glue layer use case
Any external service or technology may be linked to the application in the cloud. It can be done using the powerful Murano architecture. For example, Murano supports Docker and OracleDB applications, and to enable this support no single change was made to Murano itself. So, users can integrate with new external services with a minimum cost. Currently, murano applications have been integrated with the following technologies: Docker, Legacy apps VMs or bare metal, apps outside of OpenStack, and the following ones are planned for the future: cloudify and TOSCA, apache brooklin, APS.
