Juju (software)
Encyclopedia
Juju is a cloud-based
package manager developed by Canonical Ltd.
that delivers service orchestration. It is an open-source project hosted on Launchpad
released under the Affero General Public License
(AGPL).
Juju concentrates on the notion of service, abstracting the notion of machine or server, and defines relations between those services which are automatically updated when two linked services observe a notable modification . This allows for services to very easily be up and down scaled through the call of a single command. For example, a web service described as a Juju charm that has an established relation with a load balancer can be scaled horizontally with a single juju "add-unit" call , without having to worry about re-configuring the load-balancer to declare the new instances: the charm's event based relations will take care of that.
Juju's charms can be written in any executable language .
