Metal Juju Provider

Provision Metal and external cloud resources via Juju charms (templates) which will simplify later application lifecycle management.

What is it

Juju is an open-source application modeling tool developed by Canonical, the company behind Ubuntu Linux. It allows developers to create, deploy, and manage applications in a cloud infrastructure, regardless of the underlying technology. With Juju, developers can easily define and manage complex applications and services, without worrying about the underlying infrastructure. Juju uses a declarative approach to application deployment, which simplifies the process and reduces the risk of errors.

Simplicity

Juju simplifies the deployment process by providing a graphical user interface (GUI) that allows you to drag and drop components to create and deploy your applications.

Why do we love it?

• Portability: Juju is cloud-agnostic, which means that you can deploy your applications on any cloud platform that supports Juju.
• Scalability: Juju allows you to scale your applications up or down based on your needs, without the need for manual intervention.
• Flexibility: Juju supports a wide range of applications and services, making it easy to integrate with your existing infrastructure.
• Cost-effectiveness: Juju is a cost-effective solution for deploying and managing complex applications, as it automates many of the manual tasks associated with deployment and management.
