Using Subutai Blueprints
Authors can publish their blueprints Subutai Hub's Bazaar. Users can then directly use these blueprints to create new environments with the blueprint application, or add the application to existing environments. He's a screenshot of the bazaar:
Blueprint authors can expose their blueprints for free or for some Subutai™ GoodWill. All the blueprints are open source so yes this is for rewarding good deeds. See the guide on Writing Subutai Blueprints to publish your own blueprints. Here's a view of the MatterMost blueprint information view once it is selected on the bazaar:
Press the Build button to start up the wizard to build either a new environment or install into an existing one.
When you select a blueprint to install an application, a wizard will guide you through the application installation process. Blueprints can interact with users through the wizard to get additional information almost like a traditional installer. Blueprint authors can use custom variables to parameterize the installation of the p2p cloud application. Based on values provided from the user, the installation occurs differently or configures itself differently. Here's a screenshot of the wizard while installing MatterMost:
When installing a blueprint application users are presented with an initial list of peers from all the available peers on the system. These are peers selected by constraints specified by the application author who knows a thing or two about the needs of the application. Don't worry you can adapt the environment as you please later on or just select your own peers which are also displayed.
One of the questions users are asked by application blueprints is the max price constraint. Not all peers are free. Peer owners may choose to sell their resources for the market price of "GoodWill" or use their own prices for the various container sizes.
In this case, you will be charged hourly for the prices
