DriveNow Environments:• 3+ Data Centers• Cloud Servers with various
configurations• Cloud Storage in multiple data
centers• Public and Private software defined
networks that span data centers“For our purposes, ProfitBricks is ideal. For example, we use the Data Center Designer to configure our infrastructure. Moreover, we can use Puppet to automate the scaling of our compute resources. This flexibility is extremely valuable for us ”

DriveNow Cloud Implementation
• DriveNow use ElasticSearch, Kibana, and Logstash. Cloud Automation is done with Puppet against the REST API in combination with the Data Center Designer
• DriveNow’s future stacks will include a micro service architecture and they’ll use DDD (Domain Driven Development) and CI.
• They’re already trialing micro services with Docker.
