According to a recent press release, OpenMake Software has launched OpenMake CloudBuilder, which provides on-demand hosted exchange building platform and ensures lesser operational cost by eliminating the need for maintaining multiple physical build machines. The solutions supports on-demand Cloud Reservations and Provisioning as part of the Software Build to Release process.  

Since CloudBuilder completely eliminates the need for multiple physical build machines as it automatically constructs and de-constructs build servers on an as needed basis, reducing development cost.  CloudBuilder also eliminates the drift between development, testing and production machine configurations and standardizes architectural components across the life cycle.

 "Developers are quickly adopting the use of virtual machines as part of their development toolset,” said Tracy Ragan, Co-Founder and COO of OpenMake Software, in a statement. “CloudBuilder allows for them to more easily accessible cloud resources as part of the build to release workflow. This substantially reduces the configuration "drift" between development, QA and production build machines and substantially improves repeatability across these diverse environments."

"We are thrilled that CloudBuilder is built upon CA Virtual Automation," said Roger Pilc, general manager, Virtual and Automation, CA (News - Alert) Technologies. "Integrating CA Virtual Automation into OpenMake CloudBuilder delivers a simplified and automated method of cloud provisioning needed in the software development to release process."

CloudBuilder is available immediately from OpenMake Software and supports VCenter, EC2, and Hyper-V Cloud hosted exchange environments.  

OpenMake Software is the Build Management Authority, providing enterprise scale continuous integration, cloud supported distributed workflow management and dependency based software build control. These solutions enable customers to reduce software development cycle times, increase developer productivity, and provide management with actionable audit and traceability reports.
