In this Tech-Talk Miguel Caballer from the Universitat Politècnica de València presents the Infrastructure Manager (IM). Applications and services require customized computational environments that can be provisioned from multiple Cloud providers (e.g. on-premises Clouds, public Clouds, federated platforms). However, the use of these platforms requires users to have non-trivial skills. For that, the IM is a tool that deploys complex and customized virtual infrastructures on multiple back-ends. The IM automates the Virtual Machine Image (VMI) selection, deployment, configuration, software installation, monitoring and update of virtual infrastructures. It supports various back-ends, thus making user applications Cloud agnostic. In addition, it features DevOps capabilities, based on Ansible, to enable the installation and configuration of all the user-required applications, providing the user with a fully functional infrastructure. The IM has been extensively adopted in European research projects, and it is being used in production in the EGI Federated Cloud (one of the largest distributed computing infrastructures for research), to support the deployment of customized virtual infrastructures with popular software (e.g. Kubernetes, Daskhub, JupyterHub, Galaxy, etc.).

*About the ALASCA Tech-Talks*
The ALASCA Tech-Talks provide a platform to discuss projects that have the potential to improve digital infrastructures and cloud services, as well as use cases that rely on these infrastructures and services. ALASCA is an association for operational, open cloud infrastructures.
