• What is glu?
  • What problems does glu solve?
  • How does it work?
    • 1. You define a model
    • 2. You load the model in the glu orchestration engine
    • 3. You tell glu to execute the deployment plan
    • 4. The glu agent executes the instructions and updates the state
    • 5. The system is stable
  • Key Components
    • Agent
    • Model
    • glu script
