Make a Smarter Migration to the Cloud

One of the biggest challenges organizations face when moving to the cloud is the skills gap. In a recent study, 96% of IT decision makers acknowledge a skills gap in their organization. However, it’s difficult to get the right training for your team or hire the right skills required to manage every element of your cloud strategy. Moreover, if you hire an outside organization to do the migration for you, you miss out on an opportunity to upskill your team. This is why we created The Azure Accelerator Program, it’s the only service where we not only complete the migration itself, we also provide the training and mentorship necessary to grow your competency around the cloud.

Bitnami Stacksmith

In this illustrated white paper, you’ll learn how Bitnami’s flagship product, Stacksmith, modernizes your DevOps pipeline by automating the packaging of your applications for today's cloud and container platforms, and continuously maintain them so they stay up-to-date and secure.

Learn Stacksmith’s benefits for developers, IT ops, IT security, and DevOps teams, and how Bitnami Stacksmith is the simplest way to package applications and assets for today's cloud and container platforms, and automate the ongoing maintenance of these applications so they remain up-to-date and secure.

What is Stacksmith?

Bitnami Stacksmith is a single, standardized packaging and maintenance tool that generates deploy-ready, cloud-native assets in multiple formats for multiple cloud vendor platforms. Stacksmith provides two primary functions:

  • Automated packaging

Stacksmith’s automated packaging takes your assets – application code, configuration policies, and scripts - incorporates the platform dependencies, maps the cloud platform service integrations you specify (ie. Database), optimizes the results for your chosen platform(s), and delivers everything you will need to successfully deploy.

  • Ongoing maintenance

Stacksmith also simplifies the ongoing maintenance of your assets by continuously monitoring private repositories (for code, script or config policy updates) and trusted sites (for system package updates and Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs)), and providing manual (click ‘update’) and automated (supports continuous updating) methods for you to re-package your applications, ensuring they stay up-to-date and secure.

Bitnami now offers Stacksmith in three tiers:

  • Stacksmith Public - for individuals with open source projects and those using open source software. Free of charge.
  • Stacksmith Team – for groups to get applications packaged and in production, or get from VMs to containers, in a programmatic and cost-effective way. Starting at $800 per month.
  • Stacksmith Enterprise - for large organizations that require single-tenant delivery and directory integration. Contact us for pricing.
