Drivers for a new IT model

Addressing Long Tail Markets Accelerating IT Adoption

The New API-Centric WebAvoiding the Innovators Dilemma

When to deliver? Right Now• Time to create a new product– Time to design and build– Time to complete a product trial

• Time to enter a new market– Time to onboard local partners– Time to create a marketing

campaign• Time to react to market events• Dwell time – time waiting for

the next operation to commence or complete

Our PaaS Vision intersectsConnected Business Objectives

A connected business seamlessly • integrates people, process, and data across an

extended value chain• decreases interaction cost • automatically adapts business activity in response to

market events

Integrated

Accessible

Collaborative

Adaptive

Connected Business AttributesAccelerates interactions inside and outside the organization

Reduces interaction friction and cost

Increases engagement and enhances productivity

Senses business activity and automatically adapts

Technology Trends Shaping PaaS

• Rise in cloud based DevOps and ALM adaptation• Rise in demand for hybrid cloud configurations• Big data analysis and complex event processing in the

cloud • Greater emphasis on required change management

and cost benefits when enterprise organizations select aPaaS instead of CEAP

Cloud Native• Distributed/Dynamically Wired (works properly in the cloud)

• Supports deploying in a dynamically sized cluster• Finds services across applications even when they move

• Elastic (Uses the cloud efficiently)• Scales up and down as needed• Works with the underlying IaaS

• Multi-tenant (Only costs when you use it)• Virtual isolated instances with near zero incremental cost • Implies you have a proper identity model

• Self-service (in the hands of users)• De-centralized creation and management of tenants• Automated Governance across tenants

• Granularly Billed and Metered (pay for just what you use)• Allocate costs to exactly who uses them

• Incrementally Deployed and Tested (seamless live upgrades)• Supports continuous update, side-by-side operation, in-place testing and

incremental production

What did / didn’t go to Apache

• In Apache– Core framework– Cloud Controller, Elastic Load Balancer, Stratos Controller, etc– Cartridges for Tomcat, MySQL, PHP

• Dependency on WSO2 open source repos:– Carbon framework

• WSO2 add-ons– Carbon cartridges (e.g. ESB, AS, BPS, API Manager, CEP, etc)– Billing and Metering framework– Logging Framework

04/11/2023 21

Apache Stratos Roadmap

• Support for non-HTTP load balancing – HAProxy plugin, etc

• New architecture for auto-scaling decision making– Support WSO2 CEP, Apache Storm, etc– Improvements to policy

• E.g. start new instances in sync in every region

• Pure LXC cartridges – No requirement to re-create cartridges for different IaaS layers

• Support for deployment plans – Multiple connected cartridges– OASIS CAMP and/or enhancements to CAR file model

04/11/2023 22

WSO2 PaaS Roadmap • Dynamic, policy based elastic sharing and resource pooling

– tenant assignment to shared and private partitions via policy statements.

– Dynamic, policy based partitioning of private and shared resources across tenants and services

• IT Business– Enhance billing to demonstrate custom showback/chargeback on

all tracked elements. – Dashboard to visually depict usage per tenant, per user, per

application, per service. • Additional Cloud Services

– API Management as a Service offered as an aPaaS service.– Cloud IDE

• Expansion of ecosystem community surrounding Apache Stratos (incubating)
