Hi Amogh-
Welcome! The CFN use case is one that is growing more interesting and we'd
love your help here.
As you'll see most of the examples are around software processes and
services on top of infrastructure but since we already do a lot of the
infrastructure under the covers it wouldn't be hard to cover a lot of the
CFN constructs in a portable way.
This is an example at [1], below, which does just a VM. (You can also use
brooklyn.entity.machine.MachineEntity as a synonym.)
name: simple-vm
services:
- type: brooklyn.entity.basic.EmptySoftwareProcess
name: VM
provisioning.properties:
minRam: 8192
minCores: 4
minDisk: 100
This can be put into clusters or other properties used (osFamily, imageId,
etc). There is also VanillaSoftwareProcess which lets you supply custom
scripts, described at the same page.
There is also a SubnetTier which has been developed. Similar idea, but
composable, ie it creates a private network where MachineEntities (or
software) can be deployed in the same YAML. Starts to get quite close to
CFN. And it includes cloudstack support.
I'm not sure where the code for this is right now but I know that the folks
who developed it want to move it into Brooklyn proper and could use a hand.
Does that interest you?
Best
Alex
