About JumpScale

JumpScale is A cloud automation product and a branch from what used to be Pylabs. About 5 years ago Pylabs was the basis of a cloud automation product which was acquired by SUN Microsystems from a company called Q-Layer. In the mean time we are 3 versions further and we rebranded to JumpScale.

Main Features

a large library of convencience functions for mainly system automation
portal framework (markdown & confluence format, very easy to create macro's)
osis = object storage & indexing system (db layer on top of mongogb, mysql, postgreswl, ...)
a system abstraction layer to manage many applications, services & clouds
a ssh management layer (use ssh to manage large amounts of apps, os'es, ...)
a package management system (called at your service (AYS))
a full life cycle management system for apps (called at your service (AYS))
a agent & agentcontroller (1 in python, 1 in golang) for managing thousands of nodes
a framework to manage a grid of nodes like 1 with lots of macro's created for the portal
a rest based application server (as part of the portal)
lots of best practicices how to do things
a portforwarding system to allow secure access to all your services even if behind firewalls (part of agentcontroller 2)

Jumpscale is the result of 15 years of developing cloud products & tools to support us. Its being used in most of our products in the incubaid group. We are 100% committed to make this an even more mature framework with community backing (which is today not the case mainly because of the poor documentation)

roadmap

8.0 (Q4 2015)
- we are porting certain area's to golang
  - our agent/agentcontroller (done but still need to integrate in our portal)
- lots better documentation, looking for help, over the years this documentation came together but its not consistent enough & not clear enough, we need lots of improvements.
- new version of osis (based on even) and fully integrated in our portal
- safekeeper (an exciting system to securely remotely manage an environment)
- reactivate our cloudrobot (is message based robot for automating your daily sysadmin life)
- ays (at your service)
  - better support for docker
  - UI in portal on top of ays
  - bot integration (by means of telegram)
  - maybe toml support in stead of our own hrd (maybe)
- support for more OS'es
  - more proven support for mac & windows (its +- working today)
  - non sandboxed install on ubuntu
  - more linuxes (its working on most already today)
8.1
- we are porting certain area's to golang
  - portal framework
  - ays
- ...
