Unleashing DevOps Potentials through Shared Automation - Buddy
With the advent of big data, Supercomputers have become a critical asset for big businesses and corporations with their ability to calculate data and process information at blazing speed. They are used for everything from fathoming the disposition of the heavens to molecular modelling, cryptology, simulations, quantum mechanics — at this rate, it would probably be much easier to list what supercomputers are not used for. However, it’s one thing having a $300 million Swiss army knife slicing through data like hot knife through butter, and another thing entirely to keep all that cutting-edge gadgetry in line.
Supercomputers are faced with a lot of challenges, some bigger than the structures housing them when you factor in their power and cooling requirements, and the skills needed to operate, maintain, and troubleshoot them. Despite their versatility, there remains projects that can’t be driven on supercomputers due to their impracticality or cost of operation, one of which is Development Automation (DevOps).
It’s impossible to leverage swarm-based supercomputers for core development automation. DevOps needs more than raw processing powers, requiring exclusive access to both RAM and disk storage. Supercomputers are built to be generic to accommodate general operations. In order to use them for specific workflows, wrappers have to be built around them — everytime — anytime a specific task is required. This makes general-oriented supercomputers unusable for DevOps. There is also the problem of privacy and control of intellectually properties (for example rendering CGI movie scenes), the cost and torturous process involved in posting a job to a super computer, and the high latency layers of communication. But wouldn’t we all like to have the raw processing power of a supercomputer at our disposal without the astronomical cost and hassles?
A Shared Automation Network
Operations where trust is not a decisive factor, such as stress testing, performance, and production monitoring, can be better served by a decentralized network of nodes. This incentivized network rewards work computing units for their resources through a flexible, per second billing model, which is paid when the task is completed.
By incentivizing work execution through a DevOps marketplace, developers suddenly have access to a vast amount of computational resources to execute their tasks. They will be able to offload intensive tasks like attack stimulations, penetration tests, capturing multiple instances of an event across various devices, and monitoring performances.
With such a network, developers no longer need to purchase computing power or selecting hardware & application types on each job execution. However, this shared automation network grid should be flexible enough to enable developers create supercomputer-oriented actions like machine-learning and publish them on the Marketplace. This exciting future is the mission behind Buddy’s DevOps Marketplace Development.
Buddy’s Shared Automation GRID
Created to cater to the needs of one of the fastest growing industry, Buddy uses a shared automation GRID network to simplify the automation of tasks to a network of compute units run by users. Each computing unit is a node on a decentralized network that comes equipped with 2 vCPUs, 2GB of RAM and 4GB of SSD storage and are moderated by a Decentralized Autonomous Network (DAO). Buddy’s DAO is constantly receiving reports from the nodes on the network about the status of peers, allowing it to effectively monitor tasks, detect malicious acts, and reroute operations in case of network failure.
But what if Privacy is Required?
With years of experience in the Development, Deployment, and DevOps industry, the team behind Buddy knows some organizations just can’t afford to execute their tasks on public networks. This is why developers of high-sensitive projects will be able to set up their own Private Automation GRIDs. The platform’s critically-acclaimed user interface puts them in total control of their setups, making the creation and execution of automated tasks intuitive and breezy.
