Agenda

What is a Platform as a Service (PaaS)?• Capability provided to a Consumer of cloud computing• Enables the Consumer to deploy applications onto the cloud infrastructure

• using programming languages libraries, services, and tools supported by the cloud computing Provider.

• Provides Consumer with control over the deployed applications• Does not require Consumer to manage the underlying cloud

infrastructure including network, servers, operating systems, or storage• Optionally provides control over configuration settings for the application

hosting environment

Cloud Foundry PaaS powering Bluemix

Developer Focus

Fastest Growing PaaS Community

Open Source Platform

Founding Members:

Cloud Foundry Conceptual Architecture

Identity management service for the platform. Also acts as an OAuth2 provider.

Exposes a REST API to the system. Manages a database of apps, services, service instances, etc

End user provided code that is “pushed” to the cloud and packaged to run in a container

A collection of code that is responsible for transforming pushed app artifacts into a ready to run droplet

A distributed deployment install and management tool that abstracts the details of the IaaS layer (Bosh Outer Shell)

services in the catalog Requirements mgmt, planning,

defect tracking, build, test, and deploy

Git compatible source control Runtimes and

buildpacks Starter kits for

Mobile, Internet of Things, Web, and other types of apps

Mobile App Development Demo Twilio is a global, cloud based telephony communications

platform IBM Bluemix service catalog offers Twilio as an IBM

certified 3rd party service Twilio + IBM Bluemix help developers:

build applications that communicate integrate voice, messaging and VOIP with web and

mobile applications using a single API eliminate complexity of traditional telephony systems quickly design applications for mobile platforms

Cloud Foundry Concepts To Remember Warden: A packaging / container mechanism used to

achieve application isolation in the Cloud Foundry environment (similar to Docker, uses LXC)

Droplet: A Warden container instance containing everything that is needed in order to successfully run your application, e.g. JVM, Liberty core libraries, the application itself, short of the operating system.

Buildpack: A collection of code that is responsible for transforming pushed application artifacts into a ready to run droplet, in a process referred to as ‘staging’.

Services: Code that Bluemix hosts that offers functionality for apps ranging from utility functions to very complex business logic

• Heterogeneous infrastructure• Multiple scalability models• High infrastructure resiliency• Multi-tenancy with virtualization• Self-service provisioning• Moderate cost

Cloud Enabled

Use Cases for PaaS vs. IaaS

Bluemix Apps from IBM CustomersWeb Applications Mobile Backends• Scalable cloud centric web

applications and APIs supporting mobile workloads

• Leveraged many different language runtimes (Ruby, PHP, JavaScript, Java)

• Migration from competitive offerings: Heroku, Amazon, Rackspace

• Back end services replacing custom code hosted on IaaS (e.g. Push Notification)

• Cloud Code for offloading business logic from the mobile client

• Integrated into iOS and Android native applications using Bluemix

Hackathon: How to Get Started Play

Log in and use the catalog to spin up a boilerplate or a runtime Check out all of the different IBM, third party, and community

services Use the "getting started" guide to download the starter code

Deploy Get the Cloud Foundry command line tool Make any change to the starter code (and compile if using Java) cf push to Bluemix using the Cloud Foundry

Brainstorm Who will be the end user of my app? What problem(s) am I trying to solve for the user?

Global Footprint

“…we were able to quickly and easily embed Watson's capabilities into our eyeQinsights platform to provide an even more personalized shopping experience”

“we’re able to work with cognitive computing capabilities that we couldn’t dream of creating ourselves - it’s a fantastic opportunity and a real chance to transform our industry”

“[this] is like putting the Hubble telescope in the hands of a backyard astronomer… Watson’s cognitive possibilities alone will spawn a completely new service industry…”

What are the Properties* of a Cloud Native App?
