  • Conference paper
Proceedings of the 4th International Conference on Computer Engineering and Networks

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Electrical Engineering ((LNEE,volume 355))

Abstract

This chapter covers basic OpenSource automation and configuration management tools that can be used to alleviate common operations tasks and processes in cloud systems. It shows a quick survey of major cloud computing solutions and introduces simple abstraction layer for the management of physical and virtual resources. The last chapter covers some of the common automation scenarios from both cloud computing provider and consumer perspectives and their possible open-source implementations.
