PaaS Adoption and Cloud-Aware Development in DevOps
The advancement of the cloud technologyhas given rise to an increase in the number ofbusinesses adopting cloud as a means forapplication development and infrastructureprovisioning. Typical cloud implementationssuch as SaaS (software as a service), IaaS(infrastructure as a service) and PaaS(platform as a service) find increasing numberof adoptions across various organizations.
IaaS is a clear-cut first level for deliveringcloud services in an organization. It’s a reallygood way to make information technologycompanies more scalable and efficient. It alsohelps make IT the broker of cloud services ofan organization. Offering platform as aservice can also be a significant way to drivemaximum value of money from your existingprivate cloud infrastructures.
This white paper gives you an idea of howprivate cloud can use PaaS to enableinformation technology systems, ops staff,and developers to work more efficiently inDevOps-driven models.
DevOps is the portmanteau term ofdevelopment and operations. It is anemerging approach to software developmentin which development quality assurance,deployment, scaling, and monitoring are allautomated through the use of cloud modelssuch as PaaS.
your products: accelerated development andproduction techniques will improve themarketing time of all kinds of products.
• You will be able to access services andproducts that are provided as a servicefrom the cloud. Developing, integratingand provisioning SaaS solutions frompublic cloud services by selecting specificfunctionalities is easier by adopting thismodel of development.
• Re-hosting or rearchitecting your legacyapplications: Through the adoption ofPaaS, you can take advantage of theexisting applications that you have. Youcan simply revamp them and host them asa service in a cloud system.
• Application integration issues can be easilyhandled with the help of PaaS solutions:Designing applications that move acrossenvironments can increase adoption ratesacross the globe. Hybrid cloud adoptionsthat integrate internal and public-hostedresources can be another advantage
PaaS is a cloud technology thatlets developers build, test,provision, and stage cloudapplications. Let this whitepaper give you in-depthinformation on why broadenedcloud adoption makes it easyfor organizations to developproducts, how PaaS unleashesthe creativity and innovation ofdevelopers, and how it is anideal platform for developingmobile apps for multipleplatforms.
PaaS market across the globe has been seeingquite an awesome change for the last fewyears. Gartner, the research firm, predictedthat the PaaS adoption will grow from 1.2billion dollars to 2.9 billion by 2016. This is avery tiny percentage of the overall 131 billioncloud computing market, but it’s still quitesignificant.
Key advantages that differentiate PaaSinclude the following:
• Improvement in the go to market time of

PaaS Adoption and Cloud-Aware Development in DevOps
PaaS Layer for Application Design
PaaS or platform as a service is a collection of services that obfuscates the applicationarchitecture, the OS, middlewares, and configuration settings in order to provision, develop, test,build, and plan the release of all kinds of applications through self-hosted software developmentsolutions.
PaaS vs. IaaS/SaaS
Application Lifecycle in PaaS
Building, releasing, and maintaining are key elements of the lifecycle of an application in the PaaSpoint of view. Designing the application and linking certain interactive elements are key parts ofthe application building process. It’s succeeded by first release of the application, where self-service deployment, production automation, and multitenancy play important roles.
Maintenance of applications is ensured with elasticity, self-service logs and data, applicationmonitoring (which is a constant process), metering, and patching automatically. Self-servicedeployment solutions make sure that the further releases of the application’s lifecycle areaccomplished smoothly.
A PaaS solution standardizes and completely automates the development, testing, deployment,and scaling processes of applications and makes them go to market quicker than expected for anysoftware product company.

PaaS Adoption and Cloud-Aware Development in DevOps
Vendor Landscape of PaaS
PaaS is one area where the vendor landscape is in a rapid increase. PaaS’s flexibility to be offeredas part of a private cloud or in public cloud is one reason why this service is seeing such rapidincreases. Some of the public PaaS companies in the world include the Amazon Web Services(AWS), Google, Facebook, Microsoft, IBM Smart Cloud, Microsoft Azure, OpenShift (Red Hat), etc.
Enterprise solutions are there to target different design requirements and are offered byestablished players as well as newcomers.
Thoughtful and cloud-aware application development focuses on taking full advantage of theunderlying infrastructure for high performance, resilience, elasticity, scalability, and multi-tenancy. This also minimizes potential issues in case you are moving to hybrid cloud at a stage.
Challenges in Developing for the Cloud
There are however several challenges that anISV may face while moving their products andtheir development to the cloud. Let’s analyzesome of these key challenges.
Development Complexity: As you know well,software development can be quite a lengthyand time-consuming process. On an averagearound 16 major steps and over 70 sub-stepsmay include in any typical developmentprocess. Out of them only a few can be fullyautomated.
Inefficient Use of Resources: In case acompany is utilizing its resources in aninefficient manner, the development will
delay, and incur high costs
Extensibility: Developers generally look atapplication stacks individually, without properconfiguration standards, operating systems,etc. This makes the systems inefficient andcan have a negative effect on futureextensibility.
Cloud Design Methods: Developers in the oldtimes are quite unaware of the cloud-awaredesign methodologies. Simplified, fault-tolerant approaches to modular developmentin a virtual environment can be efficient ifyou have a team of cloud-aware developers.
PaaS Advantages
After analyzing the challenges, it can be easily seen that PaaS can be quite advantageous to a mid-level ISV due to the following advantages:
• Improved product lifecycle: reduced time to market and time to develop products.
• Greater standardization and extensibility
• Improvements in the utilization of resources
• Highly secure and robust for aiding in business continuity
• Companies will have greater control on their products and services.
• Companies can deploy their services easily, translating to greater independence.
