Cloudify, the leading networking orchestration platform provider, today
announced the release of Cloudify 4.6. The new version focuses on
modular service composition from core to edge through enhanced service
support, simplifying configuration through tighter Ansible
infrastructure, and supporting more cloud-native edge deployments via
Kubespray. Cloudify will showcase the upgraded solution at CommunicAsia,
taking place June 18-20 at Marina Bay Sands Singapore.
As enterprises and service providers move to a virtualized,
software-driven network to support digital transformation initiatives,
new challenges arise, such as how to manage distributed networks and
multiple locations at scale, while gaining control and visibility into
each location.
In response to these market needs, Cloudify has upgraded its
orchestration solution with a new service composition that enables the
chaining of modular services built out of a hybrid cloud-native and
non-cloud-native stack, from core to edge. In addition, the new version
features Ansible integration, running existing playbooks through the
Cloudify platform so that customers can easily connect to more devices
without the need for custom integration. Cloudify also now supports
Kubespray, an Ansible-based distribution tool that helps users deploy
and manage many Kubernetes cluster instances on a wide variety of
infrastructure choices.
Other updates include:
-
Scheduled and Resumable Workflows: Workflows generally consist
of multiple steps, some of which may fail to complete due to a network
issue, scripting error or other challenge. Cloudify can now resume
failed workflows. -
Upgraded OpenStack Plugin: The Cloudify OpenStack plugin is now
built to match the syntax structure of other common IaaS plugins,
allowing for easier multi-cloud and multi-infrastructure support and
easy migration among infrastructures. -
Performance Improvements: Cloudify 4.6 includes multiple
updates that enable the solution to run smoother than ever before. -
Community
Plug-in Contribution Guide: A new guide is available to
help community members and partners develop plugins that meet Cloudify
standards.
“In support of the market’s evolving needs, Cloudify is on a
step-by-step journey to extend our orchestration capabilities and make
the automation of distributed network services as simple as possible,”
said Cloudify CEO Ariel Dan. “As companies begin expanding their virtual
networks and multi-cloud applications to the edge, Cloudify is right
there beside them, extending our orchestration capabilities to support
edge networking.”
Cloudify will attend CommunicAsia in Singapore as part of the Israeli
Export stand. Its executives will provide demos of Cloudify 4.6 in stand
1E2-01, located on the first level of the Marina Bay Sands.
The company is also currently updating its Cloudify Spire solution,
which helps enterprises and telcos orchestrate distributed networks and
edge devices. An enhanced version will be available later this summer.
