Cloud computing platforms make headlines every day now, including leading open source platforms such as OpenStack, but few organizations have the cloud expertise that Netflix has. The company also has an admirable history of open sourcing many of its most useful cloud tools and accompanying security tools. We’ve reported on Netflix open sourcing a series of interesting “Monkey” cloud tools as part of its “simian army,” which it has deployed as a series satellite utilities orbiting its central cloud platform.
Now, Netflix has released three of its internal tools that help protect the security of its platform, and function as convenient utilities. Scumblr, Workflowable and Sketchy are available now. Detailed instructions on setup and configuration are available in the projects’ wiki pages.
