There are lot of pre- | requisites given the nature of the ops automation, this leads to | a problem where it is very hard to active a customer. Secondly, | these frameworks are always competing with it is bash/python | script deployed with some container orchestration or some | cronjobs. I have also seen people write CRDs and reconciliation | loops in k8s doing lot of the tasks these automation frameworks | would do. | | [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/StackStorm | | [2] https://www.netapp.com/newsroom/press-releases/news- | rel-2022... | lgas wrote: | This is interesting. It's like IFTTT for ops. The list of | adopters is intriguing too. I poked around their blog for a few | minutes and it seemed to be targeted more at people who have | already adopted StackStorm. It would be great to be able to read | some success stories from the people using it. | armab wrote: | nyellin wrote: | Nice to see this on here. | | I founded a startup that does something similar for Kubernetes: | | http://github.com/robusta-dev/robusta | | We've seen a bit of StackStorm too with our users! | candiddevmike wrote: | If you're looking for a similar, commercially supported product, | checkout RackN Digital Rebar: https://www.rackn.com. Similar | concept, vastly easier deployment/HA/GitOps/multi-tenancy story. | throwawaaarrgh wrote: | I love the design, but it just seems mostly abandoned. Maybe it | needs better marketing? | tempest_ wrote: | In what sense? | | The repo linked here appears to have contributions merged in | that last month and it has a bunch of active pull requests. ___________________________________________________________________ (page generated 2022-11-24 23:00 UTC)
