Presented at Craft Conf 2014, Budapest - an overview of the history of the Platform-as-a-Service space and the need for Open Source.

1. Next-Generation Platforms: why data, code and
mobile converge in the open cloud
Andy Piper @andypiper

2. Hello I’m Andy

3. 1. The 2014 Forecast and how we got here
2. How Open will rule the Cloud
3. Crafting code for the Cloud

4. The 2014 Cloud
Forecast?

5. MOAR APPS!

6. MOAR DATA!

7. MOAR CLOUD!

8. MOAR CLOUD!

9. We apologise for the fault in the
slides. Use of excessive animation
and llama references are
unacceptable.
Those responsible have been
sacked.

10. The year of…?

13. But basically…

14. This is all about PEOPLE

15. How did we get here?

16. They brought the
gubbins
Iaas = the new hardware

17. They brought the APIs
and data (aka MBaaS)
APIs - mashups, data, agility
* and e.g. Flickr, Twitter, etc - “Web 2.0”

18. They brought the rapid
development
push ‘myapp’ -> running

19. They brought the
business challenge
data -> advantage

20. Characteristics ☞ Expectations
• vast scale
• innovation
• rapid data analysis and iteration
• agility of delivery (even at scale)

21. Expectation Enterprise -> people, apps, data

22. How to be those guys?

23. To succeed where those guys have? Platform

25. Rumours of the demise of PaaS are greatly
exaggerated…

26. Why Open wins

27. An important year in software
1991
Hello everybody out
there using minix -
!
I’m doing a (free)
operating system
(just a hobby,
won’t be big and
professional like
gnu) for 386(486)
AT clones.

28. 21+ years later: Linux has won

29. Linux runs everywhere
(even old versions, on crashy
airline entertainment systems...)
#P0WN ALL
TEH
GADGETZ !

30. It runs on Windows Azure! Jun 2012, w. Canonical

31. Linux is ubiquitous
(but often invisible)

32. It works.

33. It works here too

34. No single language to
“rule them all”

35. Data gets bigger (and faster, and needs
analysis, and SCIENCE)

36. Composability is key

37. The need for speedy
iteration…

38. Cloud Foundry - the Open PaaS
Open Source
Micro
Clouds
Private
Clouds
Public
Clouds
CUSTOM
SERVICES
CUSTOM
RUNTIMES
“new”
clouds

39. All the pieces to make
your own!
“if you can’t open it, you
don’t own it” (O’Reilly/MAKE)

40. Not all PaaSes are
created equal...
Runs on: EC2, OpenStack,
vSphere, GCE… more to come!

41. Crafting code for the cloud

42. It just makes sense 12factor.net

43. The 2014 Cloud
Forecast?

44. more developers
building
!
more awesome code, mobile apps and services
in the OPEN

45. Thanks
