As software becomes more free and open it also is becoming more complex and expensive to operate. How can we as an Open Source community distill best practices, and recommended operations to model complex interconnected services so users can focus on their ideas? How can we as developers deliver recommended best practices in our applications and when connected to other applications so users are free to contribute and use the project on their choice of substrate (laptop, cloud, or bare metal [x86, ARM, ppc64el, s390x]).
In this talk we explore how Juju can provide an Open Source method to model a multi-node Apache Spark cluster across a diverse set of substrates, and start adding other services to build additional solutions. This talk will include a demo, and users should be able to take all software shown to try for themselves in a free and Open Source manner.
