What are the Specific Features in Cloudify that Makes it DevOps Oriented?I will use Matt Jaynes’ definition from his book Taste Test:Directive & Directives Script - Cloudify currently uses Groovy-based recipes with extended DSL as its directives. The Cloudify recipe allows you to combine Chef or Puppet directives as part of the Cloudify recipie. Our future release will include support for Yaml/TOSCA directives and may also include support for Ansible.Master Node & Children Nodes - Cloudify automatically bootstraps Master and Child nodes. It has a cloud plug-in that will allow you to automate this entire process and avoid any manual host/IP configuration. The Cloudify integration with Chef takes care of provisioning of Chef Master and Child nodes as well.Remote Execution - Cloudify uses custom-commands as a way to route calls to a group of individual sets of service instances. The integration with Chef includes built-in custom commands for updating Chef Coookbooks as well as for executing Chef-Knife and other Chef commands as described here.In addition, Cloudify provides built-in services to query the state of the cluster through the ServiceContext API and share states across services in the cluster through the Attribute Store API.- See more at: http://natishalom.typepad.com/nati_shaloms_blog/2013/10/an-application-centric-approach-to-devops.html#sthash.k5cKhWhX.dpuf
