That&#8217;s why it continues to put the source code for these tools on <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/netflix\">Github<\/a>\u00a0why it hosts open houses and meetups focused on its tools and components.<\/p>\n<p>And it&#8217;s very interested in getting other, non-AWS cloud vendors to kick the tires of these tools and, ideally, deploy them. Marten Mickos, CEO of Eucalyptus, was in the crowd and I&#8217;m told many of the OpenStack players are here as well.<\/p>\n<p>Netflix would really, really like folks to use many of its tools together. &#8220;While the parts are cool and shiny, the whole is greater than the sum of the parts,&#8221; \u00a0<span style=\"font-size:13px;line-height:19px;\">Ruslan Meshenberg, director of cloud platform engineering, told attendees.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>So what&#8217;s coming from Netflix? Some quick hits:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Denominator:\u00a0<\/strong>a tool to manage and handle multiple DNS providers &#8212; something that surprisingly, Cockcroft said, no one has done yet.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Odin:<\/strong> an orchestration API that can be invoked from Jenkins and into <a href=\"http:\/\/gigaom.com\/2012\/06\/25\/netflix-open-sources-asgard-cloud-deployment-smarts\/\">Asgard<\/a>, the Netflix deployment tool, that will let developers deploy work jobs smoothly over time.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Recipes:<\/strong>\u00a0Lots of them. These are blueprints to make it easier to deploy many Netflix components together.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Launcher:<\/strong> to enable easy push-button launch of those recipes.<\/li>\n<li><strong>More monkeys: <\/strong>Stay tuned.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>So what\u2019s the end game here? Clearly, Netflix thinks it has a lot to contribute to making massive-scale cloud computing more resilient and able to withstand random failures. Just as clearly, it would like to see other AWS API-compatible clouds (hello ,Eucalyptus!) augment their capabilities with the Netflix tool set.<\/p>\n<p> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/stats.wordpress.com\/b.gif?host=gigaom.com&#038;blog=14960843&#038;%23038;post=608325&#038;%23038;subd=gigaom2&#038;%23038;ref=&#038;%23038;feed=1\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" \/><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/pubads.g.doubleclick.net\/gampad\/jump?iu=\/1008864\/GigaOM_RSS_300x250&#038;sz=300x250&#038;%23038;c=252195\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/pubads.g.doubleclick.net\/gampad\/ad?iu=\/1008864\/GigaOM_RSS_300x250&#038;sz=300x250&#038;%23038;c=252195\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Related research and analysis from GigaOM Pro:<\/strong><br \/>Subscriber content. <a href=\"http:\/\/pro.gigaom.com\/?utm_source=cloud&#038;utm_medium=editorial&#038;utm_campaign=auto3&#038;utm_term=608325+netflix-open-house-draws-a-big-developer-crowd&#038;utm_content=gigabarb\">Sign up for a free trial<\/a>.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/pro.gigaom.com\/2012\/04\/infrastructure-q1-cloud-and-big-data-woo-the-enterprise\/?utm_source=cloud&#038;utm_medium=editorial&#038;utm_campaign=auto3&#038;utm_term=608325+netflix-open-house-draws-a-big-developer-crowd&#038;utm_content=gigabarb\">Infrastructure Q1: Cloud and big data woo enterprises<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/pro.gigaom.com\/2011\/06\/a-field-guide-to-cloud-computing-current-trends-future-opportunities\/?utm_source=cloud&#038;utm_medium=editorial&#038;utm_campaign=auto3&#038;utm_term=608325+netflix-open-house-draws-a-big-developer-crowd&#038;utm_content=gigabarb\">A field guide to cloud computing: current trends, future opportunities<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/pro.gigaom.com\/2012\/06\/cloud-computing-infrastructure-2012-and-beyond\/?utm_source=cloud&#038;utm_medium=editorial&#038;utm_campaign=auto3&#038;utm_term=608325+netflix-open-house-draws-a-big-developer-crowd&#038;utm_content=gigabarb\">Cloud computing infrastructure: 2012 and beyond<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img width='1' height='1' src='http:\/\/gigaom.feedsportal.com\/c\/34996\/f\/646446\/s\/28503536\/mf.gif' border='0'\/><\/p>\n<div class='mf-viral'>\n<table border='0'>\n<tr>\n<td valign='middle'><a href=\"http:\/\/share.feedsportal.com\/viral\/sendEmail.cfm?lang=en&#038;title=Netflix+to+developers%3A+More+monkeys+to+come&#038;link=http%3A%2F%2Fgigaom.com%2F2013%2F02%2F06%2Fnetflix-open-house-draws-a-big-developer-crowd%2F\" ><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/res3.feedsportal.com\/images\/emailthis2.gif\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<td valign='middle'><a href=\"http:\/\/res.feedsportal.com\/viral\/bookmark.cfm?title=Netflix+to+developers%3A+More+monkeys+to+come&#038;link=http%3A%2F%2Fgigaom.com%2F2013%2F02%2F06%2Fnetflix-open-house-draws-a-big-developer-crowd%2F\" ><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/res3.feedsportal.com\/images\/bookmark.gif\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/da.feedsportal.com\/r\/151885272500\/u\/49\/f\/646446\/c\/34996\/s\/28503536\/a2.htm\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/da.feedsportal.com\/r\/151885272500\/u\/49\/f\/646446\/c\/34996\/s\/28503536\/a2.img\" border=\"0\"\/><\/a><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" src=\"http:\/\/pi.feedsportal.com\/r\/151885272500\/u\/49\/f\/646446\/c\/34996\/s\/28503536\/a2t.img\" border=\"0\"\/><\/p>\n<div class=\"feedflare\">\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/OmMalik?a=EkFSt0XfTdE:78VVc-X3RpA:yIl2AUoC8zA\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/OmMalik?d=yIl2AUoC8zA\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~r\/OmMalik\/~4\/EkFSt0XfTdE\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you&#8217;re a fan of Netflix&#8217;s Chaos Monkey, stay tuned &#8212; there&#8217;s a lot more where that came from.
