HashiCorp, the company behind Vagrant, Consul and other open-source DevOps tools, has released its first commercial product, Atlas, a suite of integrated operations and infrastructure management tools designed to make it easier for DevOps to successful deploy and maintain applications.
With integration with Vagrant, Packer, Terraform, Serf, Consul, and Vault, Atlas provides insight into the entire application delivery pipeline through simple dashboards. DevOps can audit, automate, and communicate infrastructure changes. This essentially provides a version control solution for public and private cloud infrastructure, allowing DevOps teams to track where and when changes were made in the same way developers do with Git.
Some application deployment involves manual processes and ad hoc code. Atlas’ automation capabilities help make application deployment and maintenance faster and less prone to human error.
Atlas also addresses the DevOps workflow, allowing teams to review and collaborate on Vagrant development environment versions, server configuration updates made by Packer, infrastructure updates made by Terraform, and alerts triggered by Consul. This makes it easier to find infrastructure bugs, perform rollbacks, and develop better configurations to support applications.
It can also provide management capabilities even in complex modern datacenter architectures which include elements such as containers and schedulers working across multiple clouds.
Several high-profile projects have used Atlas over the course of its six-month beta period leading up to the general release. This has included Cisco’s Shipped, and Capgemini’s Apollo, which are both new application delivery platforms, as well as Mozilla’s Socorro project which collects client-side crash statistics.
Mozilla used Atlas as the infrastructure management layer, replacing a custom-built solution for infrastructure continuous integration and deployment. Mozilla Internal Tools and Systems Architect Chris Lonnen said in a statement, “As the team grew, our home-brew solution struggled to centrally manage configuration, Terraform state, and access control. Atlas remedies all of these challenges for us and provides a beautiful interface for audit logs, infrastructure history, system-wide monitoring, and more.”
A hosted version of Atlas is available now for $40 per node per month with the first 10 nodes free. On-premise installations will be deployed in late 2015.
HashiCorp unveiled Terraform last summer as a tool to make it easier to run services and applications by assembling all the necessary components and dependencies between different hosted services.
As of May, integration between Atlas and GitHub enables Atlas to automatically turn Terraform configurations stored in GitHub repositories into managed infrastructure (including Google and Amazon clouds, OpenStack, and Docker), and automatically pull changes made in a GitHub repository.
