Is anyone aware of an up to date comparison of the various orchestration systems?
I have rolled my own which, being totally biased, I do believe is more full featured than most of those mentioned in this thread, as well as more redeployable/generic. (100% pluggable platforms, built to integrate tightly with build services and developer environments, etc.). Limited internal testing at this stage (1000s of VMs instantiated, across three cloud providers (one internal), only two distinct OS deployment environments targeted thus far).
However, it'd be great to have an overview of this area... it's certainly exciting. I am beginning to feel like the DevOps batton has been passed from large companies with massive infrastructure requirements back to the community over this last year, as more developers are becoming aware of the pitfalls of single provider cloud solutions and the rough edges and missing features of existing multi-cloud deployment APIs. We can probably expect great things in this area over the next 12 months.
