Cloud Create
In today's fast-paced business environment, innovation is key to staying ahead of the curve. But state-of-the-art public clouds, like the Open Telekom Cloud, have a daunting complexity related to infrastructure management and do not tackle the application management themselves. This is where Cloud Create comes into play. It allows you to easy and quickly set up and deploy desired Open Telekom Cloud infrastructure and associated applications. Cloud Create comes with a visual designer that lets you easily architect desired infrastructure of your applications as well as deploy and configure them, all in all boosting your deployments.
Say farewell to monotonous coding tasks. With Cloud Create's intuitive visual interfaces and drag-and-drop functionality, your developers can unleash their creativity without being hindered by technical hurdles.
No more wasted hours tinkering with server configurations: Cloud Create offers pre-configured infrastructure resources that can be easily provisioned and scaled, ensuring optimal resource utilization and freeing your team to focus on innovation.
Why pay for resources you don't need? Cloud Create operates on a flexible, pay-as-you-go model, enabling you to optimize costs and allocate resources judiciously as your business evolves.
With Cloud Create handling the heavy lifting of infrastructure management, your team can devote their energy to what truly matters: pushing the boundaries of innovation. Whether it's refining existing solutions or exploring new market opportunities, Cloud Create empowers you to move at the speed of creativity.
The visual designer allows you to drag and drop premade components into your architecture. Some of the most frequently used service components like Grafana and Prometheus are available that allows you to focus on writing code for your application. Finally, Cloud Create will auto-generate Terraform code and deploy them on Open Telekom Cloud.
Our solution architects regularly publish popular app templates in Cloud Create. This allows you to directly access application architectures and reuse them. That way you can speed up the deployment of your desired application and mandatory infrastructure components. All app templates and service components are available in the TOSCA standard format at our public GitHub so that you can review and contribute at any time.
OpenShift by Red Hat is a container platform built on top of Kubernetes, which has become a popular solution. With Cloud Create you can generate a “Self-managed OpenShift Container Platform” from the OpenShift app template.
Normally, to deploy a Self-managed OpenShift Container Platform on a cloud provider, you need to set up the cloud infrastructure by yourself (e.g., VMs, networks, security groups, DNS, virtual IP addresses, etc.) and then install OpenShift manually on top. This requires deep knowledge about the cloud (e.g., OpenStack) and cloud automation (e.g., Terraform and Ansible). With the OpenShift app template, you can start OpenShift right away using a highly available architecture.

With Cloud Create, you can design your application in multiple versions and choose which version to deploy on which environments (e.g., test, pre-production, production). Most importantly, you can run updates from one version to another. Cloud Create visually shows the differences between two versions during updates and auto-calculates the upgrade path between them to review beforehand. Our innovative update feature will save you cost in your operations.
With Cloud Create you can compose multiple services in one application, modify an app template to fit your individual needs, and perform updates between multiple versions.
You can log in to Cloud Create using an IAM user account with the Tenant Administrator role. If you do not have a user account in the IAM, see How to create a user account & login.
A “self-managed OpenShift Container Platform'” is a dedicated OpenShift installation running on Open Telekom Cloud. You have access to the bastion host and from there you have full control of the OpenShift cluster by using the “cc” command. You will need a subscription from Red Hat, which covers technical support from Red Hat (i.e., support of the Red Hat operating system up to the container platform, and upgrades between OpenShift versions).
With the web console, you can only create the cloud infrastructure manually. That means you can create a network, a storage, and a VM separately, but without automation. With Cloud Create, you can automate or semi-automate your application, including the cloud infrastructure and the services on top. In addition, you can design the application in various versions and run updates between them.
In addition to Open Telekom Cloud (and the upcoming support for Swiss Open Telekom Cloud), Google Cloud is supported as deployment platform as well. The support for Google Cloud is limited, but can be enhanced based on request.
“Cloud Topology Designer” was the former name of this product. “Cloud Create” is the new name, which expresses our focus to “create” an application.
Cloud Create is based on two open source projects. Application Lifecycle Enablement for cloud (Alien4cloud) and Ystia Orchestrator (Yorc), which are licensed under the Apache License 2.0. At Open Telekom Cloud, we further integrate them with Open Telekom Cloud and Google Cloud, provide an easy-to-use user interface and many added features (e.g., app template, update management, secret management, etc.).
