Juju allows you to retain a high-level understanding of all the parts of your system without being bogged down needing to know every hostname, every machine, every subnet and every specification of every storage volume.
Focus on your applications and their relations. Create a development environment on your laptop, then recreate that environment on the public cloud, onto bare metal servers or into a Kubernetes cluster.
Maximise your productivity by encapsulating specialist knowledge into Juju charms. They create repeatable, systematic and secure devops practices for all stages of your product’s lifecycle. Juju simplifies deployment, maintenance, scaling up and winding down.
