Quilt aims to be the easiest way to deploy and network containers. Traditional container orchestrators have a procedural API focused narrowly on compute. The network, usually an afterthought, must be managed by a separate system with its own independent API. This leaves operators with a complex task: write a deployment script that configures everything necessary to get their application up and running. Quilt takes a different approach. It relies on a new domain specific language, Stitch, to specify distributed applications, independent of the specific infrastructure they run on. Given a stitch, Quilt can automatically deploy in a variety of environments: Amazon EC2, Microsoft Azure, and Google Compute Engine, with more coming soon. Furthermore it can do this with no setup — just point Quilt at a stitch and it will take care of the rest: booting virtual machines, starting containers on those VMs, and ensuring they can communicate. Quilt is currently in alpha and under heavy development. Please try it out! We are eager for feedback!
