How Does Yac Work?

yac services are specified in a Servicefile.

Servicefiles allow Service Developers to define services that can be easily installed in any VPC by Service Providers.

The Servicefile is:

• a cloud formation template on steroids
• the means by which services are shared (discovered, cloned, improved, etc.)
• stack parameters + code
• the service analogy to the Dockerfile
• a means of keeping a service in configuration management
• a means of leveraging 'stock' resource templates
• a means of abstracting container engines
• a means of abstracting cloud providers
