Moore’s Law for Data

• The amount of data online went from– 5 exabytes in 2002– 281 exabytes in 2009

• Doubling every 15 months

• You cannot deal with this data growth with the same applications– A reasonable conclusion is that the number of

applications will double every 15 months too

Cloud Native Attributes

• http://bit.ly/CloudNative• Core Attributes

– Self-service– Multi-tenant– Distributed / Scalable– Elastically / Dynamically Scaled– Metered

• Extended attributes– Incrementally Deployable and testable– Billed– Dynamically wired

Central Limit Theorem

Cloud Middleware Platform and PaaS

• A PaaS requires an underlying software base– Cloud Middleware Platform (CMP), or – Cloud Enabled Application Platform (CEAP – Gartner)– “Private PaaS” / On Premise PaaS

• Not all PaaS have redistributable CMPs• The benefit of having a CMP is choice:

– Run your own PaaS in a private cloud– More than one PaaS provider

• Open PaaS / Open CMP fights lock-in

One Enterprise Platform wherever you need it:

WSO2 Carbon

On Premise:•In Production at Fortune 1000 companies•Handling 1bn transactions/day•The only modular open source middleware stack•Everything you need to build Enterprise Applications•From Core Logic to Mobile Apps

WSO2 Stratos

In Private Cloud:•A single managed platform•Elastic, Self-Service, Multi-tenant•Accelerates your private cloud beyond virtual machines to provide real Enterprise Cloud Services•Use only what you need

WSO2 StratosLive

As a Service in the Public Cloud:•We manage, run and maintain your application platform•Complete Pay as you Use•ESB-as-a-Service•Governance-as-a-Service•Identity-as-a-Service•With appropriate SLAs and simple monthly billing

• A single code continuum• Completely modular based on OSGi• Complete Enterprise SOA Architecture:

• AppServer, ESB, Governance, Portal, BPMS, BAM, Identity and more• Supported 24x7 with phone, web and full SLAs

Stratos Overview

• A full middleware platform available as a service, with self service– Fast provisioning

• Based on OSGi– Modular, componentized, standard

Installation options• 1. Full installation

– Pre-reqs• IaaS – Eucalyptus, vmWare, Ubuntu or Amazon• MySQL & Perl & JVM• Ability to run a number of VMs (one per service)

• 2. Laptop/Simple install– Pre-reqs

• A machine with lots of memory (4Gb min, 8GB preferred)

• JVM• MySQL & Perl

18

Installation of Stratos 1.5.1 pack

• Config mysql– max_allowed_packet = 16M

• ulimit –n 65000• Unzip the distro• cd stratos• ./stratos-setup.pl• export STRATOS_DIR=`pwd`/deploy• cd deploy• ./stratos.sh start all

19

Who are the players in the PaaS market?• Those without a Private PaaS

– Force.com– Heroku– Google App Engine– Amazon Elastic Beanstalk

• Those with a Private / Public PaaS– Tibco– Microsoft (nearly)

• Those with an Open Private / Public PaaS– SpringSource CloudFoundry – WSO2 Stratos

20

Available Services (low level)• Multi-tenancy• Deployment synchronizer• Elastic Load Balancer

– tenant-aware• Tenant-aware identity manager

– SAML2, OpenId, Oauth, XACML• Tenant Metering and Billing• Discovery• Logging• Configuration & Repository• Data-as-a-Service• Queueing-as-a-Service• Health Monitor• Private / Public Cloud bridging

21

Every Service has a network API

• All admin functions and all the low level services are available as SOAP APIs– Full SOAP support, REST in some cases– Always possible to bridge into REST using the ESB

• Why?– Clear SOA design

• Allow mashups, BPEL and ESB integration– Automated provisioning– Support hybrid multi-tenancy models for legacy

software

22

Available Services (mid-level)• Application Server

– Webapp deployment • Multi-tenant deployment of Tomcat 7

– Service Deployment • Axis2, JAXWS, POJO, Spring

– Transaction Manager– SaaS deployment model

• Portal Server– Based on the OpenSocial/Google Gadget spec– Gadget repository and strong personalization features– SAML2 and OpenId Single Sign-on

• Data Services• Enterprise Service Bus

– Full multi-tenant deployment of Apache Synapse• Governance Registry

– Governance-as-a-Service model

23

Available Services (high-level)

• Business Process Manager– Full BPEL runtime in the cloud– Human Task support

• Business Rules Server• Complex Event Processing• Business Activity Monitoring

24

Case Studies (in progress)

• System Integrator– Currently running Stratos for internal projects– Examining the use of Stratos for customer projects and SaaS

• Home Loan Bank– WSO2 runs a private deployment of Stratos– Developer sandbox and test environment– Currently apps are then deployed internally in Carbon

• Niche PaaS– Combination of cross tenant services / APIs– Allow each tenant to deploy / customise the logic

• Mobile PaaS– Building a PaaS environment for a mobile telco

• SaaS-enablement of legacy applications

Futures

• SLA management and Priority Execution• Better thread/CPU management and

instrumentation• HDFS support• VM deployment• End-to-end development lifecycle

integration (Maven, SVN, Hudson/Jenkins, Junit)
