PaaS 2013

December 31, 2013 by Krishnan Subramanian Leave a Comment

I started out 2013 working as an analyst focussed on cloud services, in general, and Platform as a Service, in particular. By the end of 2013, I am now the Strategy guy for OpenShift @ Red Hat focussing more on OpenShift platform. As I plot my way to keep the research community around Rishidot Research […]

Quick Note: Subset Compatibility != No Vendor Lock-in != Standards

October 4, 2013 by Krishnan Subramanian Leave a Comment

Recently I had a discussion on Twitter where some Pivotal employees claimed that Buildpacks removes vendor lock-in because it is used by both Heroku and CloudFoundry. As I argued in my post that standardization in PaaS only makes sense when it reduces or eliminates vendor lock-in, I beg to differ from their push that Buildpacks […]

Segmenting The PaaS Landscape: The S In PaaS

October 1, 2013 by Krishnan Subramanian Leave a Comment

At the recent JavaOne conference panel, Sacha Labourey of CloudBees positioned themselves as the S in PaaS to distinguish themselves with other platforms represented in the panel (OpenShift, CloudFoundry, etc.). I think it is an argument gone stale. Especially, with the twitter snark hat on, I would say 2008 called and wants its Service in […]

PaaS Standards: Standardize on what?

October 1, 2013 by Krishnan Subramanian Leave a Comment

Introduction Standardization is a natural process in any technological evolution and it helps enterprises in terms of quality control, repeatability, interoperability, etc.. As we move into the cloud based world, with large scale automation, standardization becomes even more important. Typically, open source makes standardization much easier. However, there is a strong belief in the industry […]

Infrastructure Scaling Does Not Equal Application Scaling

September 25, 2013 by Krishnan Subramanian 3 Comments

Yesterday, at JavaOne 2013, one of the panelist in the PaaS Faceoff panel was talking about scaling which I found troubling. It was a panel with OpenShift (Disclosure: I am a Red Hat employee), CloudBees, ActiveState and Pivotal CloudFoundry. While talking about the platform features, one of the panelists claimed application scaling as one of […]

When Open Source Foundation Makes Sense

August 21, 2013 by Krishnan Subramanian 3 Comments

Ever since open source took off in the enterprise market, we are seeing more and more vendors using open source as a marketing tool. One of the recent marketing strategies is to talk up the idea of open source foundations. Let me make it clear before I get beaten up on this statement. I am […]
