– Provides access to hosted applications or services
– Trades off flexibility in favour of ease of use for
users with less middleware experience
– Usage based charging, per hour or per ‘transaction’
– Application Centric view. Equivalent to operating system for Cloud.
– Application deployed into this environment hosted in the cloud
– Simplifies application dependency & provisioning
– Often charged by licensed capacity or by usage
– Equivalent to logical hardware layer.
– Access to compute, storage, network resources
– Charging generally by (virtual) machine capacity
– Total flexibility: can build and deploy VM to run any app
