What is glu?

glu is a free/open source deployment and monitoring automation platform.

What problems does glu solve?

glu is solving the following problems:

deploy (and monitor) applications to an arbitrary large set of nodes:
efficiently
with minimum/no human interaction
securely
in a reproducible manner
ensure consistency over time (prevent drifting)
detect and troubleshoot quickly when problems arise

How does it work?

glu takes a very declarative approach, in which you describe/model what you want, and glu can then:

compute the set of actions to deploy/upgrade your applications
ensure that it remains consistent over time
detect and alert you when there is a mismatch
