Fabric8

An interesting integration platform is Fabric8 which brings a few popular set of service-oriented components together, namely the ActiveMQ, Camel, CXF, and Karaf. This can in process provide for an integrated platform as a service offering. Quite a useful and robust solution to have for meeting the needs of many common business applications. It allows for some useful container management as a focal context and allows for automation, provision, configuration, and above all management from a centralized location using a flexible UI/UX option. There are also plenty of other options available as part of integration such as: configuration management, service discovery on failover, load balancing, and monitoring. It is aptly appropriate for managing one's own containers and running them in the cloud environment. And, is integrated with JBoss Fuse.
