kite-deploy

kite-deploy is one of sub-projects of kite, which is to run Linux application or kernel test on public and private cloud platform, such as VMWare ESXi, OpenStck, AWS EC2, Google Cloud Platform, Azure, etc.

kite-deploy will provide an easy way to deploy Linux guest/instance/VM on public and private cloud platform.
