A user-centric multi-PaaS application management solution for hybrid multi-Cloud scenarios

Abstract

Cloud Platform as a Service (PaaS) is a rapidly growing IT paradigm which enables software developers to deploy applications without the burden of software platform maintenance. Currently, the PaaS market is dominated by a few providers that promote incompatible standards. This introduces adoption barriers that prevent the interoperability between heterogeneous PaaS offerings, so software developers are not able to manage distributed applications spanning multiple public/private clouds. In this paper we present a multi-PaaS application management solution as a result of the Cloud4SOA European project that addresses these challenges. To clarify this approach a distributed deployment and cloud bursting scenarios are used.

PaaS manager: A platform-as-a-service aggregation framework

“…As far as we know, this is one of the first works in this area presenting an implemented and tested system aggregating several PaaS offerings. Moreover, some of the assumptions and objectives underpinning this work are also corroborated and complemented by other recently proposed multi-PaaS application management approaches [18].…”

IoT-Enabled Secure and Scalable Cloud Architecture for Multi-User Systems: A Hybrid Post-Quantum Cryptographic and Block Chain-Based Approach towards a Trustworthy Cloud Computing

“…In the clouds deployment there is categorization of clouds as; public/open cloud, private/personal cloud, hybrid/converged cloud and multiple cloud. It is important to make this distinction in order to determine which of the approaches to deployment is applicable for a particular enterprise [8]. It is worth mentioning that there are a number of possibilities provided by the concept of cloud computing when it comes to data management in terms of storage and data processing possibilities as well as data scalability.…”

IoT-Enabled Secure and Scalable Cloud Architecture for Multi-User Systems: A Hybrid Post-Quantum Cryptographic and Blockchain-Based Approach Toward a Trustworthy Cloud Computing

“…There are several models for deploying clouds, including the public/open cloud, private/personal cloud, hybrid/converged cloud, and multiple cloud options. Understanding the differences between these approaches is crucial in selecting the most appropriate cloud deployment strategy for a given business [8].…”
