Cacao helps you use clouds with ease of use, flexibility, and collaboration. Cacao is a multi-cloud orchestration service for researchers and educators that eliminates the complexity of using multiple clouds. By focusing on getting stuff done, Cacao helps transform research and education in a multi-cloud world. Cacao is built and maintained by CyVerse, the NSF research project that created Atmosphere.
Key Features
-
Cacao helps adapt the cloud to fit your needs. Under the hood, your cloud resources are created using pre-defined Hashicorp Terraform templates. If you don’t know Terraform, don’t worry – you don’t need to know Terraform to use Cacao.
-
You can create your own Openstack Terraform templates if you wish to level-up your Cacao workflow game.
-
Future features in Cacao will include support for AWS/GCP/Azure+Terraform as well as non-Terraform-based templates, such as Kubernetes and Argo templates.
-
Cacao will also allow you to activate your resources when your data or workflow code changes and shutdown your resources after executing your workflow, in a Continuous Analysis way.
