Genome Overview

+

Genome is:

+
    +
  • A set of tools that integrate world class open source products so that developer solutions can automatically be deployed into production
    • +
  • A set of tools that capture deployed solutions so that they can be reused by other teams
    • +
  • An open source project that allows a community of our partners and customers to collaborate with us on those solutions
    • +
+

Genome goals:

+
    +
  • Consistently configure systems throughout the software development lifecycle, including production
    • +
  • Provide a consistent disaster recovery solution for system configuration
    • +
  • Enable large scale parallel developement of infrastructure systems
    • +
+

Genome uses:

+
    +
  • Cobbler - for OS provisioning and system profile management
    • +
  • Func - for remote control of cloud based machines
    • +
  • Puppet - for constent system configuration
    • +

Genome overview:

Genome at a high level is just a set of tools that allow you to provision an Genome repository machine, which in turn maintains the configuration of cloud based infrastructure machines. Whether you need a cluster of JBoss Applications Servers, replicated MySQL databases, or an Apache proxy tier, the Genome project allows you to consistently provision and configure entire IT system tiers. Get started with building an Genome based infrastructure! Read the Genome Documentation.

Genome: IT Evolved.

Genome makes building intrastructure in a cloud computing environment easy. Genome is a set of light weight tools that use Cobbler, Puppet, and Xen to provide developers and system administrators an easy way to initiate provisioning and system configuration of I.T. systems.

The genome is fundamental to the reliable encoding and transfer of both genetic code and data. As the project name suggests, Genome is the equivalence for software systems. The project started formally in early 2008 though the origins can be traced back several years prior to real struggles within Red Hat IT developing and deploying software systems.

+ +While it may not be the perfect analogy, it is indeed fitting to say that hereditary information is stored within every IT organization. The truth is software systems, like species, face extinction through poor replication of this information. Sadly, the knowledge that is required to maintain and reproduce complex systems often only lives in the form of tangled configuration scripts or, worse still, only in the minds of consulting domain experts. Transfering knowledge in such manners is practically a recipe for building legacy systems.

+ +Taking the biological analogy a little further, briefly imagine a world in which generations of genetic information had to be manually replicated by any number of people. Now try to imagine a different world in which genetic information could only be copied exactly, that is to say, diversity is altogether unattainable. Genome aims to solve both of these problems for IT; that of reproducing exceedingly complicated systems in a world where heterogeneity is always more of the rule than the exception.

+ +As you begin to tackling these problems for your organization it cannot be emphasized enough that the collaboration amongst teams enabled by Genome is more important than any particular tool implementation. Feel free to mutate Genome into any share or form to solve your problems. The truth is, we readily await your patches and enjoy seeing the best ideas rise to the top.
