Cloud controller's task is to start,terminate instances in the configured IAASs and managing the topology of the system.
Autoscaler - AS takes the decision when and where to spawn and terminate instances. It decides to start a instances when new subscription comes and system load increases and terminate instances when users unsubscribe and system load goes down etc. Cartridge agent - this is the agent software that runs inside the instances which establish the communication between instances and the Stratos. Load balancer- basically does the load balancing of the services of the users. Stratos manager provides the UI for users/Dev ops to interact with the system. Creating and deploying cartridges, subscribe for cartridges, deploying policies are some of the facilities available from SM. CLI - as SM, CLI help users to interact with the system by a command line utility. @Chris These are the description that comes to my mind, just add yours. Touched, not typed. Erroneous words are a feature, not a typo.
