- <h1>Why Apache Stratos Stand Out Among Other PaaS
Vendors</h1>
-
-<p>If your business is looking PaaS offering to scale your business, your
evaluation need to be carefully carry out since there are many PaaS offering
are in the market. In this article I will discuss some important factors, that
need to be consider before choosing suitable PaaS vendor and also discuss why
Apache Stratos stand out among other PaaS vendors.</p>
-
-<h2>Important factors that need to be consider</h2>
-
-<ul>
-<li>True community ecosystem</li>
-<li>Open extensible architecture</li>
-<li>True flexibility for custom services</li>
-<li>Multi-factored auto scaling</li>
-<li>Multi-tenancy</li>
-<li>Scalable dynamic load balancing</li>
-<li>Capability of controlling IaaS resources</li>
-<li>Logging, metering and monitoring</li>
-<li>Cloud bursting</li>
-</ul>
-
-<h2>True community ecosystem</h2>
-
-<p>If you evaluate current PaaS vendors, one of major misleading facts that
you can see that they claim their offering is driven by the community. But if
you carefully analyzed, these offerings either belong to a single corporation
or a few select large sponsors. But Apache Stratos is the only open community
controlled open-source PaaS offering. Apache community, where participation is
based on participation and meritocracy instead of financial sponsorship. Apache
community meritocratic process known as "The Apache Way," more than 400
individual members and 3,500 committers successfully collaborate to develop
freely available enterprise-grade software, benefiting millions of users
worldwide. Apache Software Foundation is established in 1999, the all-volunteer
Foundation oversees more than one hundred and seventy leading Open Source
projects, including Apache HTTP Server --the world's most popular Web server
software, Tomcat server, Cassandra, CouchDB, CloudStack and many others.</p>
-
-<p>This is very important that, if you think your PaaS offering need to have
true community ecosystem, find out carefully how established and has openness
of the saying community.</p>
-
-<h2>Open extensible architecture</h2>
-
-<p>Above diagram shows, how Apache Stratos core components (Cloud Controller,
CEP, Auto Scaler, Stratos Manager which include Artifact distribution
Controller and Rest API) integration with IaaS layer, foundation services and
dynamic services that are cartridges.</p>
-
-<h2>Why is this architecture so important?</h2>
-
-<p>Cartridge model provide run time extendability to bring any type of
cartridges such as language cartridge, framework cartridge, data cartridge
..etc without binding to any specific Operating Systems. This bring polyglot
nature for tha PaaS and its is so important, because not to trap with
limitation that many PaaS offering has.</p>
-
-<p>Another key advantage of Apache Stratos cartridge model is that it enables
to bring even legacy containers and applications into cloud with ease. So, with
Apache Stratos, you can cloud enable both existing IT assets as well as the
future IT assets that you plan to use or yet to acquire.</p>
-
-<p>Another important architecture design in Apache Stratos is unified
communication among all components using message bus and real time event bus.
It provide unified interface to integrate with any third party systems or
extending to work with existing systems. Also its carefully design to cater
heavy traffic via real time event bus (via thrift protocol) and used AMQP for
messages which need reliable delivery.</p>
-
-<p>Another important extendability of Apache Stratos is that ability to plugin
any IaaS due to the use of apache jclouds API. Which give more freedom to
choose your own IaaS vendor, and it also enable to extend multiple IaaS
integration, which is important in features like cloud bursting etc.
