WSO2 Technology Executives to Present Palo Alto Workshop on Building a Private or Hybrid PaaS with WSO2 Stratos 2.0
Palo Alto, CA (PRWEB) July 17, 2013 -- Increasingly, enterprises are recognizing the benefits of cloud architecture and cloud services. However, legal or organizational issues often prevent enterprises from using a pure public platform as a service (PaaS). The alternative for these companies and governmental agencies is to implement either a private or hybrid PaaS. In a half-day hands-on workshop for cloud architects and developers, WSO2 Co-founder and CTO Paul Fremantle and WSO2 Vice President of Solutions Architecture Asanka Abeysinghe will explore how enterprises can build their own PaaS using WSO2 Stratos 2.0.
The “Building a Private or Hybrid PaaS with Stratos 2.0” workshop will be held on Tuesday, July 23, from 9:30 a.m. – 1:30 p.m., at Palo Alto, CA. For more information, visit: http://wso2.com/events/workshops/2013-july-palo-alto-building-a-private-or-hybrid-paas-with-stratos-2-0-workshop.
Building a Private or Hybrid PaaS with WSO2 Stratos 2.0
The hands-on technical workshop will examine how cloud architects and developers can use WSO2 Stratos 2.0 to build a PaaS that runs within a datacenter or in an existing cloud environment, such as Amazon or Rackspace. Paul and Asanka will begin with an overview of WSO2 Stratos 2.0, which has been re-architected to support polyglot environments, including PHP and MySQL, and can be extended to support multiple cloud models. They will then examine how WSO2 Stratos can be installed, configured and used to enable a multi-tenant PaaS. Additionally, demonstrations conducted on the Amazon Elastic Computing Cloud (EC2) and local systems will highlight the benefits of WSO2 Stratos and PaaS in a private, hybrid or public cloud environment. Workshop session topics will include:
• A review of multi-tenancy and multi-tenant models.
• An overview of elastic load balancing.
• Infrastructure as a service (IaaS) configuration and how to work across heterogeneous IaaS environments, including OpenStack, VMware vSphere, Amazon EC2, and Rackspace.
• How to plugin different runtimes using the WSO2 Stratos 2.0 cartridge model.
• How the new WSO2 App Factory enterprise DevOps platform fits into the WSO2 Stratos model.
