Online Meetup: An Introduction to Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) on OpenStack

Abstract

PaaS has been growing in popularity and the benefits are clear - companies can get their applications to the market faster by using it in conjunction with their IaaS. The key advantage of private PaaS is that it works with your existing infrastructure and allows IT to keep control over application management, while empowering developers to deploy applications to the cloud on their own. The result is a streamlined pipeline, greater innovation and productivity.

Join ActiveState Technology Evangelist, John Wetherill, as he explores the ins and outs of PaaS and outlines how it integrates with OpenStack. In this meetup, John will be providing a demonstration of PaaS as well as discussing the following:

• Introduction to PaaS

• The relationship between IaaS and PaaS layer

• Explanation of the PaaS architecture

• How to provisioning services such as databases, messaging systems, caching services, and filesystems

• How PaaS interacts with OpenStack
