We are very happy to announce the immediate availability of CloudBolt version 5.0.  

The platform’s new features include:

  • powerful new service catalog functionality to facilitate complex, multi-tier app deployments

  • provisioning of service catalog blueprints available through both the CloudBolt web interface and a powerful REST API

  • deeper out-of-the box integration with technologies such as VMware, OpenStack, AWS, Azure, Infoblox, Puppet and Chef

  • ability to define arbitrary server actions so DevOps experts can provide simple buttons for users to perform complex operations on servers

  • ability to snapshot VMs from the CloudBolt user interface

  • increased control for administrators, including the ability to set rate-based limits and set limits on environments in addition to groups and handlers

  • significant UI improvements, including adding social aspects to the interface

  • even deeper extensibility - additional trigger points for hooks/actions

  • revamped docs, now made public: http://docs.cloudbolt.io/

  • new trigger points for power on/off, rebooting servers and post-order completion process have been introduced and currency units are no longer limited to USD

Meet the CloudBolt team at ChefConf 2015

ChefConf 2015 is a little more than a week away and we couldn't be more excited!

Not only is ChefConf amongst the seminal configuration management events of the year, but it's also a great opportunity for us to rub elbows with our automation peers and demonstrate how we leverage Chef to quickly deliver configured applications to end-users. CloudBolt includes native integration with Hosted Chef, Enterprise Chef, and Open Source Chef to deliver the best cloud delivery platform, and it does so by building atop your existing Chef infrastructure and automation efforts.

If you're headed to ChefConf 2015 in San Jose, stop by booth T3, say hello, build a server, and get some free stuff!
