I have been using juju for some time now and I think it does pretty much this and more.

It is a cloud agnostic service orchestration tool developed by Canonical. So of course you're using ubuntu images here but it allows deployment and service integration just like we saw on the video. It does not uses docker but Linux containers which is a level lower on the stack.

The magic happens in reusable components called charms (a bit like cookbooks in chef but with different purposes) which defines the installation logic and hooks to run when you want to integrate another service.

I really liked the concept behind juju and was convinced when I saw how I could deploy and configure a MongoDB cluster with replicasets, shards, config servers and mongos with just a few commands.

Anyone else heard about it? It looks like they're not communicating too much about it. And with Docker becoming the de facto standard now, I don't know how it's going to evolve in the near future.

Juju is brilliant for orchestrating your services. Its refreshing to see a S.O.A. approach to configuration management and embraces it rather than having it as an after thought.

@tmikaeld - yeah the vagrant story with juju is an emerging one and great for getting started quickly on your Windows/OSX machine! But when running native, I prefer to use the local provider. LXC is so fast. When combined with BTRFS snapshots you get machines in ms.

I have read about it, but i never understood it was completely free and so powerful.

Reading more, i found this page to quickly make disposable development enviroments:
