For the last few years Netflix developers have been using self-service tools to build and deploy hundreds of applications and services to the Amazon cloud. One of those tools is Asgard, a web interface for application deployments and cloud management.
Asgard is named for the home of the Norse god of thunder and lightning, because Asgard is where Netflix developers go to control the clouds. Asgard has now been deprecated in favor of spinnaker.
Like other open source Netflix projects, Asgard was released under the Apache License, Version 2.0.
