Getting Started with Codar 1.80

Codar is a continuous delivery solution that provides deployment and release management of complex multi-tier applications across the application lifecycle. It automates the deployment of applications by embracing existing content from Chef, HPE SA, and so on and representing this content as components. These components can be used in a graphical topology designer to create an application model.
