Modernize your DevOps pipeline by automating application packaging for today's cloud and container platforms and continuously maintaining them to ensure they stay up-to-date and secure.
Package your Applications for the Cloud
Cloud platform know-how is built into the tooling, templates, and automation that Stacksmith uses to package and optimize your applications. Stacksmith delivers everything you will need to successfully deploy to whichever platform you choose.
Automate Ongoing Maintenance
Once your application is running, how will you keep it up-to-date and secure? Stacksmith continuously monitors trusted sites for new releases and security updates for your application's components, provides alerts when available, and offers a simple re-packaging process.
How does Stacksmith work?
You provide your application code and scripts, select a few parameters, and hit create. Stacksmith pulls together the dependencies, documents and packages them, and delivers everything you need to deploy your application to your chosen cloud platform - the VM or container image and the deployment template. Deploy and utilize native cloud services that are now available to you!
Stacksmith then delivers ongoing value by continuously monitoring the dependencies, alerting you when updates become available, and providing a simple way to re-package the application.
Templates encode best practices so you don't need to be an expert, and support for multiple platforms and formats means you can explore new technologies at your own pace and don't have to worry about vendor lock-in.
Stacksmith can be used to package and maintain new or existing applications, and can be used on its own or integrated with the development tools and processes you already use.

What is Stacksmith used for?
Bitnami Stacksmith is the simplest way to package your existing applications for deployment to today's cloud and container platforms, and automate the ongoing maintenance of these applications so they remain up-to-date and secure.
While there are many places where Stacksmith can provide benefits to your organization, we have identified the following primary use cases: cloud migration, application delivery and maintenance; and cloud service catalogs.
-
Modernize as you migrate applications from datacenter to the cloud. Gain the cloud platform benefits that you wouldn't get with a simple lift and shift, without the need to re-write your application as cloud native. -
Streamline the handoff between development and operations. Simplify application development, enforce best practices and corporate policy, and automate application updating. -
Empower teams to get the applications and solutions they need, on your preferred cloud platform. Let teams self-serve from a selection of apps and environments tailored to the needs of your organization.
