Eclipse DROPS

Eclipse DROPS delivers to Ops teams a single, centralized and open-source solution for managing, building and deploying applications that is wholly independent of the underlying technology being deployed.

Key components of the project include:

• Eclipse DROPS Server - based on REST APIs communication and built on Equinox – the DROPS server:
• • Manages all the data, 
  • Supports all the configuration actions (Repositories, Users, Rights and Roles Schema, etc)
  • Executes, plans, delegates or monitors deployment operations
  • Interacts with external provisioning or instantiation solutions
  • Provides all the information required to generate statistics and reports
  • Proposes multiple extension mechanisms to interact with instantiation and provisioning solutions, external artifact repositories or technical target services.
• The RCP-based Eclipse DROPS Studio that provides a rich GUI to manage all configurations and operations
• The Eclipse DROPS-Agent- based on REST APIs communication, the agent is optional and used to remotely execute the deployment activities
• A set of Out-of-the-Box starter scripts that could be used to define deployment processes
