PAAS - A REMINDER

Provision hosts/VMs

Manage applications and services

3

A LOT OF CHOICES

Elastic Beanstalk

4

A REAL APP…

5

Ask yourself: • Do I need additional

platforms?• Do I need a

different OS version/type?

• Can I settle for the underlying cloud SLAs?

BUT IS THIS GOOD ENOUGH FOR YOU?

6

Idea is to model your app and its components using code (Groovy DSL, to be specific)

Kind of like a deployment descriptor, but for the entire stack

DEVOPS IS A GREAT PAAS ENABLER
