Overview
Waldur is a platform consisting of two main components.
Waldur MasterMind cloud orchestrator exposes REST API service that enables end-customers to access Marketplace, organization, project and resource management functionality. MasterMind comes with Admin Portal interface for operator-only use.
Waldur HomePort is a web-based self-service portal for end customers and operators. It is built as Single Page Application (SPA) and communicates with MasterMind API service directly from a user browser. It exposes almost all of the MasterMind functionality in a user and mobile friendly way.
In addition to HomePort, advanced users can make use of Ansible modules for integrating Waldur in their configuration.
