Modern Application Architecture for the Enterprise

January 21, 2016

Developers don’t adopt locked down platforms. In a tale akin to Goldilocks and the Three Bears, application teams have been searching for the right mix of freedom and control for their application environments. Along the way, they discovered that Platform as a Service (PaaS) models were too high-level, abstracted and restrictive - sacrificing flexibility for a completely locked down, black box style environment. Similarly, Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) offerings with their respective container services are not sufficient as it provides a myopic view of what resides solely in that infrastructure silo. In looking for that right-sized solution, organizations are offering a Docker Containers as a Service (CaaS) environment to provide agility for development teams, control for operations teams and portability of applications across any infrastructure - from on-premises datacenters to public cloud, across a vast array of network and storage providers.
