I'm trying to follow the instructions for creating a cartridge [1]. It would be good if there was a little more information on cartridges and how they are used by stratos, for example:
Am I right in thinking we need to create a cartridge for every service we want to be managed by stratos (such as a PHP service)? What does the cartridge run in, is it a cloud compute instance? How does stratos communicate with the cartridge? Can I run more that one service in a single cartridge (e.g. PHP + Mysql)? Can I run more than one cartridge in a compute instance? Also, are the wiki instructions assuming that the user has started a Ubuntu 12.04 instance in a compute service such as AWS, Openstack or Cloudstack, and that the instructions are being run in that instance? Many thanks, Chris --- [1] https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/STRATOS/4.0.0+Creating+a+Cartridge
