Deploying Modular Applications with Apache ACE

A modular runtime brings a lot of benefits for deploying apps in the cloud: zero-downtime deployments (without the need of a cluster), small deployments, versioning, and so on. We use OSGi to modularize applications, but how do we deploy them to the cloud? We end up with a large set of small OSGi bundles. If we packaged all those bundles together before deployment, we'd lose the power of modular deployments.

Apache ACE is a provisioning server that helps you deploy modular apps to the cloud, private servers, desktops, or even embedded and mobile devices. You can start up new cloud nodes (such as on Amazon EC2) from ACE and provision bundles to them. This presentation shows how ACE can be used to deploy modular applications to the cloud.
