Cloud4SOA at Cloudscape V Cloud s PaaS Potential
Cloud s PaaS Potential user interest in platforms PaaS supports Software Developers in the Cloud-Based development lifecycle the role Software Developer is very general
Cloud s PaaS Potential innovative platforms bring diversity We re seeing diversity on many levels.
Cloud s PaaS Potential what s it looking like today? the actual PaaS market is, still young, chaotic and highly fragmented PaaS have several roles and focuses.
Cloud s PaaS Potential challenges! innovative PaaS segment, but also fragmented if so diverse, what s the best PaaS for you? How does the developer find and compare PaaS solutions when the landscape is so diverse? IDC SMAT 2011/0045 Cloud Demands and Barriers Report Portability is 2 nd most requested actions to alleviate in Cloud for higher adoption and investment vendor lock-in! how does the developer leave a provider with minimal switching costs how can we help the developer avoid lock-in after that initial decision?
Cloud4SOA at Cloudscape V PaaS Interoperability & Portability
PaaS Interoperability as the Ability for different cloud to talk to each other at three different levels (Software, PaaS, IaaS) PaaS Interoperability & Portability C# PaaS Interoperability at Software Level PaaS Interoperability at PaaS Level PaaS Interoperability as the ability of applications and data to be managed and migrated between Cloud PaaS offerings that are using the same technological background but PaaS Interoperability at IaaS Level different concepts and Application Programming Interfaces (APIs). PaaS Portability as the capability to operate software on different platforms without the need for changes Lock-in when there is significant cost to switch cloud vendors
PaaS Interoperability & Portability a potential use case Developer Deployment/Running Develop Develop/Update Migrate Development / Deployment / Running Deploy Migrate Deployment/Running
PaaS Interoperability & Portability solutions? open, expanding platforms? flexibility, multiple environments, multiple languages, sometimes from different providers, but still the same platform standards? it s beginning! CAMP focuses on platform management and has industry backing but for today s PaaS diversity? but what of solutions that recognize today s diversity of platforms?
support standards, but can work without them. provides 4 core capabilities leveraging on an adapters approach already support several of today s platforms
matchmaking the problem: PaaS segment highlight fragmented difficult to compare, not a commodity IaaS Cloud4SOA s answer: more than a listing, more than a search engine can find best optimized platform based on application requirements, such as technology, functionality, capacity, development support and quality of service empowers the developer to compare and decide
management the problem: different applications, different technologies, different needs: where to manage it all? Cloud4SOA s answer: first multi-cloud manager on the platform layer allows full governance lifecycle, control over various applications, in various platforms/vendors does not replace the PaaS, it accompanies it
monitoring the problem: diversity of metrics enforcement of applications policies Cloud4SOA s answer: unified metrics, unified interface overlooking all your deployments at once empowers developer to compare, contrast, test brings a unique application based user-defined applications policies monitoring
migration the problem: vendor lock-in is a chief adoption barrier developer dependency to one platform Cloud4SOA s answer: first true Cloud-Based application portability solution opens market segment, builds on top of PaaS value proposition, alleviating its chief drawback
Cloud4SOA s solution timeline & availability full public release matchmaking service Summer 2013 Beta program for public hosted (portal) and local versions (GitHub) April-May 2013 March-April 2013 Cloud4SOA is working today!
