My Cloud Computing Reflections
Week6: Platform as a Services
Transcript:
Welcome to my cloud computing reflections. My name is Charles Roberts. This is the sixth week where I listen to a new podcast and go over what new topics I learned, how it challenges my initial thoughts or beliefs, and how it applies to my personal or professional life
This week, I listened to episode 76 of the cloud cast titled bringing depth to PaaS for real world deployments with special guest Sinclair Schuller. Schuller founded Apprenda, which is a platform as a service. Akin to RedHat and VMWare. Enterprises required their IT department to develop new applications for their clients and employees, but even after development, it would take an average of a month and a half to manage and test applications without virtualization. According to Schuller, Apprenda utilizes virtual machings to condense 90 days of testing in less than a week.
On aspect I learned was the variety of PaaS services available. If Cloud computing was portrayed as building blocks, then PaaS it the sturdy middle that stores and protects all applications hosted on the platform (). The one Paas that has ever known and used was VMWare. I never got a chance to use Red Hat or Apprenda.
One other aspect I learned was how JP Morgan’s department's function. According to Schuller, JP functions on siloed and are slow to transition to cloud services. JP had to make the decision to invest in train the IT department in new methods of providing virtualization for applications. This in turn builds JP’s IT department in something more like a service manager and provider.
To close out this podcast, this cloud cast podcast helps bring light to what it is like to work in PaaS services. I was recently analyzing other companies who describe their company like the functions in Apprenda. By providing a cloud platform to enterprises, they can adopt a hybrid cloud and develop applications in a more efficeint manner. The only thing that would hold the enterprise back would be the education of not only the IT department, but also the administrations who approve the ideas of cloud applications.
That’s all for now, talk to you soon, and thank you. Podcast out.
