Onyx Point’s Upstream/Downstream Thumbs Up: 2017

SIMP
Puppet – and just about everything in its ecosystem
Beaker – Part of the Puppet ecosystem, but with potential to grow beyond it
Elasticsearch
Gitlab – Source code hosting and integrated CI in a box, with an open and responsive community
Consul – Highly consistent data storage, service discovery, and lock management.
Vagrant – We use vagrant to make it easy to do automated testing on real operating systems
oVirt – Free VMWare-like virtualization platform with flexibility
libvirt – main component of oVirt
Docker
PostgreSQL

Only Office

We continue to support open source initiatives and rely on these solutions regularly. What are your favorite open source projects? Remember to shout them out and show them love all through the month of #FOSSFeb.
