An introduction to Adjutant, a service built to handle automation of sign-ups to a public cloud, user invitation, password resets, and more. It's a framework for quickly building APIs that expose admin tasks and business logic in a useful way. You can iterate quickly, and get your users managing themselves faster.
Running an OpenStack cloud requires a huge amount of work handling basic administrative tasks, managing users, and trying to glue actions across many disparate systems.
In an ideal world, you would allow your users, customers, and non-admins to handle most of the administration themselves, but often because of business requirements and policy limitations you simply can't. What if you could automate some of that? With enough custom validation in place to keep you and your operators happy, all with the option that in some cases the task requires a simple human sanity check before moving on, all while automating the rest.
Attendees will get an overview of the project:
- what led to its creation
- what it can do (with a demo)
- where it is going
- what still needs work
- how you can get involved and contribute
