NodeCloud - The Node.js API for open cloud

Organizations move to open cloud solutions based on certain advantages of combining multiple services of different cloud providers. NodeCloud is an open source project which unifies the API layer to simply application layer API contracts and provisioning. The talk will deliver the design and development methodology of NodeCloud library.

4. Open cloud
7. Open cloud Consuming services of multiple cloud providers, • Make use of strengths of different services • Redundancy / Disaster recovery • Avoid vendor lock in • Compliance • Scalability • Cost optimization
8. Solutions leveraging open cloud
9. Transparency
10. Versatility
11. Easily managed
12. Configuration options
13. Use case
14. Backing up AWS S3 in GCP Storage Why? • Account hacking • Against data loss
16. Disaggregation of APIs Providers have different forms of API implementations Constructs are different from each other
17. Cons of disaggregated APIs Hard to move faster More time spent on integration rather than business logic Higher learning curve Hard to focus on business processes
18. Clear constructs are a necessity
19. NodeCloud
20. Unified API layer in Node.js
21. Providers
22. Design philosophy
23. Plugins
27. DEMO https://bit.ly/2W6ZCBr
28. cloudlibz/nodecloud Core repository
29. cloudlibz/nodecloud-aws-plugin Plugin for AWS
30. Configuration with code
32. Creating a plugin
33. Creating a plugin • Add the plugin name in supported list of providers • Create a repository following the naming convention ◦ nodecloud-provider-plugin • Create APIs with matching definitions (be careful not to complicate things) • Communicate with the core team • Publish in NPM!
35. Aspects • Application layer • Provisioning infrastructure • Consuming infrastructure
36. Thank you!
