SANTA CLARA, Calif., Sept. 2, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- JENKINS USER CONFERENCE - ElasticBox, the agile application delivery manager, today announced freely available public boxes for the DevOps community. ElasticBox works with enterprises to help them deploy any application to any cloud. Public boxes are curated reference boxes that represent some of the most popular applications and tools for orchestrating deployments at scale.
Boxes are an adaptive way to represent reusable infrastructure as components of code. Boxes contain scripts, variables, and metadata to automate processes for deploying applications to any cloud infrastructure. Stitched together, boxes model complex processes like deploying or upgrading multi-tier enterprise applications.
By making these boxes publically referenceable, DevOps can now search and find references to popular application stacks, discover boxes, share and follow updates. This community is designed for DevOps to quickly find best practices for deploying the most popular applications.
Popular boxes such as MongoDB, Jenkins, NGINX, ELK, MySQL, Docker containers and more are now available at www.elasticbox.com/explore.
"Public boxes are a huge plus for the DevOps community that value open source. They serve as excellent references for deploying the most popular applications. It gives users a chance to experience ElasticBox, and gives us the ability to access and share app deployment knowledge more broadly," stated Aaron Chu, Senior Director of Technical Operations, DeNA.
"I'm happy to see ElasticBox make Jenkins part of a free public box library. Jenkins is all about making things easier for IT teams and making Jenkins itself easier to run is an important part of that. The Jenkins Box is a nice starting point for those who are new to Jenkins," said Kohsuke Kawaguchi, Jenkins founder and CTO of CloudBees.
With public boxes, visitors to the website can explore many open references for deployment. These boxes showcase best practices for the most common development stacks. Benefits include:
- Custom-fit deployments using sample reference deployment scripts.
- Share best practices to configure applications or microservice components in any command language like Bash, PowerShell, Puppet manifests, Chef recipes, or Dockerfiles.
- Support container or VM application deployments by using ElasticBox to orchestrate auto-provisioning and lifecycle management across development, staging, and production.
- Make successful deploys predictable through reuse. Engineering and operations teams can reuse the same stack to push code in development, staging, and production environments.
- Speed up deployments in one click on any cloud. After connecting a cloud service through ElasticBox, users are now able to deploy their technology stacks on-demand in the environment they choose.
- Integrate deployment-as-a-service with the user's suite of automation tools using the ElasticBox API, CLI, or the friendly graphical interface.
