VMware’s Cloud Foundry is taking the wraps off a new Ruby-based application that simplifies cloud data migration. Known as “Caldecott,” the application gives developers tools to analyze, manipulate or port the data in data services bound to Cloud Foundry applications. According to the company, “This solution is ideal for importing and exporting data when moving application between different clouds running Cloud Foundry (e.g., CloudFoundry.com and Micro Cloud Foundry), for debugging during development, as well as ad-hoc queries and modification to data in a deployed application.”
Caldecott is currently a “preview” release; the company hasn’t said when it will release a final version.
