SMI: Stack Management Interface

Many businesses prefer to run their web application in a cloud, as this provides an access to large numbers of computing and storage resources. To run a web application in a cloud, a virtual environment with the corresponding technology stack has to be created. The interfaces provided by cloud services (Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, etc.) require micromanagement of all individual components. This makes the management of technology stacks an extremely time consuming and complex task, which involves a high degree of expertise. We present here SMI, a stack management interface that let you think about your cloud infrastructure as stacks of cloud technologies and enables moderately experienced users to manage the stacks as a whole.
