tremendous pressure from

the Organization to enable growth

Constant demand for new services (new

Need to accelerate,

automate, and standardize developer workflows

The Five Scenarios of Management in PaaS

1. User experience monitoring

2. Code level diagnostics

3. Dependency mapping – where are my cartridges??

4. Preparing to scale

1. Capacity planning

2. Gears and cartridges

5. Intelligent scaling

23 by

1. User Experience Monitoring

• When the app goes live, all the users care about is the user experience

• 99.9% uptime is not enough. It’s all about response times now

24 by

2. Mind the Code

• Diagnosing code in production is now a must!

• Not just for developers. IT ops also need to isolate code related issues

2. Mind the Code (cont’d)

26 by

3. Where are My Cartridges?

• Understand dependencies between cartridges and

gears helps build better composite apps

• How do you manage an app with 10 cartridges and

100 gears?

27 by

Example - Auto-Detected Dependency Map

A new cartridge is added and automatically mapped

28 by

4. Preparing to Scale

• How do the cartridges affect workload?

• Do we have ‘resource hogs’?

• Which cartridges need to be scaled up/out?

29 by

Example - Real Time View of Workload and SLA

Ability to see ‘by gear’, ‘by tier’, ‘by cartridge’ and more

30 by

5. Auto-Scaling – the Holy Grail

• Auto-scaling is done by concurrent users/threads

• How about being able to auto-scale by response times

or workloads?

Example – Auto-Scaling By App Response Times and SLA

Example of auto-scale triggered by real user experience

• Openness

Why Correlsense for Enterprise PaaS Management

• A management system that

is ‘baked’ into the platform

• Tools to serve both ops and

dev – a common language
