The Carina Environment Manger allows you to automatically deploy, scale and manage the availability of multi-VM application clusters according to policies such as time of day, load-based, service priority, failure events, or custom metrics.
The following are benefits of the Carina project:
Faster / error-free deployment of multi-tier applications
Improve application response time through automated scaling based on workload
Reduce resource consumption by scaling down resources when not needed
Increased availability through automated re-creation of failed VMs
Ability to prioritize & differentiate services based on SLAs
The Carina software can be installed in a management VM which users can connect through via a CLI or REST APIs. The installation instructions can be found here.
The usage of features is described here.
