Bravetools - a tool to build, deploy, and release any environment using System Containers.

Bravetools is an end-to-end System Container management utility. Bravetools makes it easy to configure, build, and deploy reproducible environments either on single machines or large clusters. -Why use Bravetools * Configurable system images have many advantages, but their use has been limited. In our own development practice, we found that there were either no existing tools to automate the full lifecycle of a System Container or they had a steep learning curve. Here are some improvements that our team has noticed when using Bravetools in development and production: *Improved Stability. All software and configurations are installed into your images at build-time. Once your image is launched and tested, you can be confident that any environment launched from that image will function properly. *No overheads of a VM. Bravetools runs on LXD. LXD uses Linux containers to offer a user experience similar to virtual machines, but without the expensive overhead. You can run either single images on a local machines or scale to thousands of compute nodes. * Focus on code not infrastructure. Maintaining and configuring infrastructure is difficult! With any application built and deployed using Bravetools infrastructure and environment have to be configured just once. Developers can spend more time on creating and improving software and less time on managing production environments.
