The pop-utils package provides a collection of utilities to optimize the deployment and management of a POP-C++ or POP-Java based setup with a special focus on cloud deployments and Amazon Web Services.

The different utilities that come with the pop-utils package are:

• pop-link -- A linker to register two or more already running job managers without needing to edit the configuration and restart them.

• pop-master -- An AWS/Eucalyptus based utility to create base machine images for custom POP-C++/POP-Java deployments.

• pop-cloud-setup -- An AWS/Eucalyptus based utility to setup a complete POP environment on a cloud service of choice.

• pop-deploy -- A companion utility of the pop-cloud-setup utility to deploy an application to a particular setup (created either manually or using the pop-cloud-setup utility).

The whole package is released under the MIT license. Note though that the POP-C++/POP-Java sources are only available under the GPL license.
