Deployment Manager
Quake AI concept: Automation
- Uses YAML configurations with optional Jinja2/Python templates expanded server-side; Quake AI offers Heat (legacy, HOT/YAML) and recommends OpenTofu (HCL) for new work.
- Resource types named as service.v1.resource (e.g., compute.v1.instance) tied to GCP APIs, vs OpenStack prefixed types like OS::Nova::Server.
- Single integrated GCP service (no separate API/engine processes); Heat has a multi-service architecture (heat-api, heat-engine) but is legacy. OpenTofu runs client-side with no server component.
- No additional service fee; bills only for deployed GCP resources, same as OpenStack resources billing via provider.
