雲端計算⽇漸普及，雲端計算強⼤的運算與儲存能⼒讓許多⼈受惠，但並⾮所有⼈都能夠駕馭雲端計算的資源。現今許多框架與服務提供了使⽤者發展各種應⽤的可能性，並且試圖降低雲端的⾨檻。在這篇論⽂中，我們將設計⼀套整合雲端資源的⾃動化流程系統。我們的系統使⽤了更輕量化的容器技術與容器管理⼯具，以達到可擴充性、⾃動化、快速建置並提供彈性的流程定義語⾔，幫助使⽤者處理多樣化的應⽤與繁複的⼯作流程。

Cloud computing is very common and popular nowadays. It provides powerful
computation and storage resources that benefit many users. However, developers
cannot master cloud computing easily. Therefore, there are many frameworks or
services for developers to build their applications quickly. In this thesis, we propose an automated workflow system, which can integrate cloud resources seamlessly. With
lightweight container technology and container management tool, our system is extensible, automated and is capable of provisioning runtime environment quickly.
We also design a flexible job description language to help developers to define their workflows. Developers can deal with diverse applications and complicated workflows
with our system fluently.
