Hold on – if you know what PaaS is or already know the concept of the Cloud being an “On-demand, self-service” model of resource management, jump to the end of this post or check out our free intro to Cloud course. Many people think they have “the Cloud” figured out. …
Did you know that Docker is not a “Thing”? It’s rather a collection of tools that enable users to build, run and manage containers. In this 5MoC episode, Robert Starmer explains what the pieces are and how they work together to provide the container service that has application developers so …
The Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) cloud service model has a lot of benefits for enterprise users. Some “legacy” enterprise apps will not fit this model, but surprisingly, a number can be transitioned to and managed from a PaaS. Moving forward, building applications on a PaaS, that abstract away much of the hardware …
In this episode, part 3 of our 4-part series, we dive deeper into the three core on demand services provided by “The Cloud” – Infrastructure-as-a-Service(IaaS,Compute, Storage and Networking), the well known Software-as-a-Service (SaaS), and the often confusing (development) Platfom-as-a-Service (PaaS). Robert Starmer, Kumulus Technologies’ CTO, explains what these X-as-a-Service models …
Saas, PaaS, IaaS – What are they anyway? The services a cloud provides to business can be divided into three categories according to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) cloud model: Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS), Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) and Software-as-a-Service (SaaS). While all clouds are built on real, physical infrastructure of …
With all the opinion-based cloud computing definitions out there, it is hard to come to an agreement about what “the Cloud” or a ‘cloud service’ is. The US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has developed a clear and concise definition of what “Cloud” is that has been broadly …
Platform as a service (PaaS) systems are changing the relationship of applications developers to Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) systems. This change is having a ripple effect in the world of DevOps practitioners that are most interested in application development enabled by PaaS and the new container paradigms and less …
You have most certainly heard of SaaS (Software-as-a-Service), possibly heard of IaaS (Infrastructure), but what about (PaaS)? One of the fastest growing areas of cloud computing services it is also one of the least understood. CTO Robert Starmer walks through what PaaS is and then outlines how enterprise users (applications …
