"The public cloud holds the potential for true workload mobility, where users can move data, applications and operations between clouds as needed, ensuring the right mix of price and performance," said Christopher Brown, CTO, Opscode. "To realize this potential, public cloud providers need to eliminate barriers to mobility and Google Compute Engine is doing just that by creating an open, easily accessible cloud platform. By leveraging Opscode Chef to build their applications, customers are able to easily migrate their explications from other virtual machine services to Google Compute Engine with a single command, or vice versa."
Google Compute Engine provides a highly reliable, open, cost-effective compute infrastructure that enables any developer or business to run large scale computing workloads on the same infrastructure that runs Google search, Gmail, and ads. Google's world-class data centers and infrastructure technology provide unparalleled performance and value, and its architecture is optimized for predictability, scalability, security, and flexibility.
Opscode Chef combines with Google Compute Engine to enable the creation and management of cloud resources directly from the command line, ensuring infrastructure is consistent and easily scalable. With Chef, Google Compute Engine users can automate the full compute stack, from server provisioning all the way through application deployment. Opscode Chef provides recipes â€" re-usable configuration templates â€" for everything from rebuilding environments to configuring resources, ensuring a seamless, enterprise-grade experience.
