The elastic compute systems of any given enterprise are now distributed across tens, hundreds, thousands or more physical nodes running an ever-growing array of cloud services, but there is no central coordinating function to act as a nexus for control and trust. In the midst of this unwieldy reality is an even more compelling reality—that the cloud is not, in fact, merely a collection of infrastructure. It’s the world’s first global computer. And, just as we abstracted the hardware of individual computers decades ago, we can abstract the distributed hardware of the cloud and radically simplify operations complexity.

We're excited to collaborate with O'Reilly to publish An Introduction to Immutable Infrastructure, which explains why you should give up on managing infrastructure and start programming it instead. Fugue can help!

If you work with network infrastructure, you know that it has a tendency to drift away from its original configuration, or "grow warts." There are many tools that attempt to solve this problem. Fugue brings automation and control of networks one step further by ensuring networks remain in the state intended when they were deployed.

We at Luminal are launching our new vision for computing: Fugue. Fugue embodies a set of core computing patterns that rely upon automating the creation and operations of cloud infrastructure, short-lived compute instances, and simplification of compute instances.
