  Description     : easy development and deployment for cloud platforms

Otto detects your application type and builds a development environment tailored specifically for
that application, with zero or minimal configuration. If your application depends on other services
(such as a database), it'll automatically configure and start those services in your development
environment for you.
Otto understands dependencies and versioning and can automatically deploy and configure an
application and all of its dependencies for any environment. An application only needs to tell Otto
its immediate dependencies; dependencies of dependencies are automatically detected and configured.
Otto knows how to deploy applications as well develop them. Whether your application is a modern
microservice, a legacy monolith, or something in between, Otto can deploy your application to any
environment.

If in Germany, see i'X 11/2015, S. 26 for a short summary. It's a rather young but very promising
project from the Vagrant people. Several different cloud platforms are going to be supported,
so far AWS is (Amazon Web Services).
