The big news just keep coming for Project Jellyfish, Booz Allen’s open-source, modular cloud broker platform. Today, we’re launching Project Jellyfish Version 3.0, an exciting new iteration of the open-source platform that’s empowering organizations to procure and manage multiple cloud services from a single place.
The new version is launching in conjunction with the 2015 Red Hat Summit, an open-source gathering sponsored by Red Hat, one of several key collaborators on Project Jellyfish, along with other leading companies including Docker, Chef, Sensu, and more.
Since the release of Version 2.0 in February 2015, Project Jellyfish has been updated with a number of new tools and features, including:
- Enhanced modular architecture that lets users seamlessly integrate new services and third-party tools (e.g., Sensu for monitoring, Chef for configuration management). This includes Platform as a Service (PaaS) and microservices to increase developer productivity and decrease time-to-market for quick turnaround applications.
- Improved cloud analytics, including a mobile iOS application, show-back and change-back information, and a search and compare wizard. These help bring relevant services based on business logic, governance, and technical requirements, and help users analyze business and technical trends in making better business decisions.
- Enhanced cloud management with built-in integration to third-party tools, including Red Hat ManageIQ, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Sensu, Chef, Amazon Web Services (AWS), Rackspace, and VMware.
- Enhanced user experience and interface through a widget- and role-based dashboard that provides information relative to each user’s environment, budget, trend history, alerts, and other relevant metrics.
- And much more!
Beyond this, organizations can now take advantage of optional engineering and consulting professional services to make sure they get a tailored fit to meet their exact needs. Booz Allen can deploy trained experts in cloud computing, infrastructure design, security, policy, and strategy development to provide custom support for Project Jellyfish. Our business and technology consultants have provided support for international, commercial, and government clients to solve a wide array of challenges associated with cloud services.
As an open-source and continually improving platform, Project Jellyfish is also looking for contributors and partners to help it thrive. Whether you’re interested in contributing documentation or testing, or you’re an organization looking to connect your products to the Jellyfish platform, we want to hear from you!
