PAAS - A REMINDER

Provision hosts/VMs

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?

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
