Today's Devops ecosystem consists of diverse set of tools, configuration management (Chef/Puppet), remote execution (Fabric, Capistrano), monitoring and central logging all used against a large number of systems (optionally) spread on multiple hypervisors (AWS, vCenter, Docker, Proxmox etc..),All these tools work great but don't give us a cohesive system to work with, we still need to:

• Have UI and API
• Allow users to self service (monitor resource usage, manage it etc..)
• Support multiple platforms transparently (AWS, vCenter, Docker etc..) without having to reinvent the wheel each time.
• Have a process not just another tool, how other parties add content to configuration management, how we deploy the changes etc..
• Manage resources intelligently (between users)
• Minimize manual book keeping (assigning static ips, register dns records etc..)

Celestial comes to fill this void, it uses well known best practices from actual field work:

• End to end life cycle management of systems with simple understandable model.
• An easy to use UI and Restful API, Hubot integration.
• User, Quota and multiple environments management.
• Distributed locking, complete auditing of all actions with easy to slice through structure in kibana/graylog2
• Integration with leading Devops tools.
• Hand crafted fine tuned support for leading hypervisors.

In this talk we will cover Celestial and see it action.MP3
