About  Ac$veState

•  Some  customers:  

Agenda  

•  What  is  Private  PaaS  &  Why  •  Overview  of  Stackato  

– Any  Language,  Any  Stack,  Any  Cloud  – Users,  Groups,  App  Store,  Git  Hub  

•  How  to:  Deploy  an  Python  App  to  the  Cloud  •  DIY  Instruc$ons  (aka  what  we  are  NOT  doing)  

– Download  MicroCloud  – Deploy  your  own  PaaS  

• Reduced  Cost  •  Increased  Storage  • Highly  Automated    • Control  • Flexibility  • Agility    • Quicker  Time  to  Market  • Allows  IT  to  ShiD  Focus  to  InnovaEon    

• Developers  just  want  to:  – Code!  

•  Corporate  IT  wants  to:  – Deliver  IT  as  a  service  and  consump$on-­‐based  pay  per  use  

•  Cloud  Hos$ng  &  Managed  Service  Providers  want  to:  – Ensure  seamless  service  experiences  – Offer  more  value-­‐added  services  &  SLAs  – Sell  more  compu$ng  $me  

•  Cloud  Infrastructure  Vendors  want  to:  – Sell  more  compu$ng  $me      

“unlock  their  inner  service-­‐provider  selves  to  deliver  IT  as  a  service  to  their  

own  organizaEons  using  a  combinaEon  of  on-­‐premises  and  hosted  resources”  –  451  Research  

Group  

•  Heroku,  EngineYard,  GAE,AWS    – A  Swipe  of  the  Credit  Card  and  away  we  go!  – Very  Convenient  but:  

•  Limited  to  Available  Services,  Languages,  Frameworks  •  Locked  into  their  cloud  

– Great  for:  •   Start-­‐ups  in  MVP  mode  &  Shadow  IT  projects  

• Full  applica$on  lifecycle  experiences  

• Enabling  apps  to  get  onto  cloud  and  re-­‐deploy  work  where  &  when  required  

• Commission  more  network  resources  or  disk  capacity  online  on  demand  

• Seamless  service  experiences  

•  Another  cloud  provider  might  not  have  a  clue  how  to  install,  deploy,  run  &  manage  your  applica$on  – Deep  detailed  informa$on  about  the  applica$on  and  its  underlying  stack  is  needed  that  “arbitrary”  providers  typically  don’t  have  

– Virtual  images  do  not  suffice  at  all  •  They  are  “just”  snapshots  of  the  actual  state  of  your  applica$on
