Weave Cloud Agent
Built on open source software, Weave Cloud is software-as-a-service that allows DevOps teams to connect, deploy and manage containers and microservices.
Integrated with CNCF Kubernetes, Docker Swarm/UCP, AWS ECS, Apache Mesos, and Mesosphere DC/OS, Weave Cloud help developers and operators of microservices who struggle to fit a complex application’s structure in their head, it provides visibility into the shape of the app and what it’s doing by showing a live graph of the running application.
With Weave Cloud, container and microservice networking, monitoring and continuous delivery become “invisible infrastructure” that is simple to use, simple to operate, secure and highly available. Development is accelerated because automation has replaced manual configuration and scripting, and you get all the container-level and orchestrator-level information you need.
The benefits of Weave Cloud are that it is:
Open and integrated: Weave Cloud is based on open source code that is fully integrated with Docker containers and all the major orchestrators such as Docker, Kubernetes, AWS ECS and Mesosphere DC/OS.
A simple extension: Weave Cloud extends Docker and your chosen orchestration platform, and makes them simpler to deploy and operate. No “rip and replace” is required, and Weave Cloud works across datacenters and clouds, and across multiple orchestrators.
Simple to use: We do all the undifferentiated heavy lifting in operating Weave Cloud so you and your team don’t have to build, integrate and operate the underlying open source components. “Invisible infrastructure” means that you don’t have to manage databases, storage, availability and redundancy.
Installation instructions
Weave Cloud Agent can be pulled to each host, using the following command:
docker pull store/weaveworks/cloud-agent:1.3.0
Once you have created an account in Weave Cloud and created a token (which is a long hash), the Weave Cloud Agent can be installed using one of the following methods: Docker On each Docker host:
docker run --privileged -d --name=weavecloud-agent --net=host --pid=host -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock store/weaveworks/cloud-agent:1.3.0 --probe.token=<token>
