**IT-as-a-Service**
|
|
|
|
An *IT organization* manages applications and controls the applications
|
|
availability to different OpenStack cloud users in a simple and timesaving
|
|
manner.
|
|
|
|
A *cloud end user* can easily find and deploy any available application
|
|
from the catalog.
|
|
|
|
**Self-service portal**
|
|
|
|
An *application developer* and *quality assurance engineer* reduces efforts
|
|
on testing an application for compatibility with other applications,
|
|
databases, platforms, and other components it depends on, by configuring
|
|
compound combinations of applications dynamically and deploying
|
|
environments that satisfy all requirements within minutes.
|
|
|
|
**Glue layer use case**
|
|
|
|
A *cloud end user* is able to link an ever growing number of technologies
|
|
to any application in an OpenStack cloud with a minimum cost due to
|
|
the powerful Murano architecture.
|
|
|
|
Currently, Murano applications have been integrated with the following
|
|
technologies: Docker, Legacy apps VMs or bare metal, apps outside of
|
|
OpenStack, and others.
|
|
|
|
The following technologies are to become available in the future:
|
|
Cloudify and TOSCA, Apache Brooklyn, and APS.
