The following 5 major platforms, enterprises have to understand

Heroku, a preferred option that should override other platforms, that is, a service product, If everyone's application is executing, it needs Ruby's related resources and some support for node.js. What it does is simply introduce our own and our customers ' applications to the cloud platform. Does not cause unnecessary trouble, even though the current holder is Salesforce.com (which is also a big annoyance to VMware), We don't have to worry about server workloads or the scalability of applications. It is also the title of worthy of the second generation cloud platform.

Because of the limited work done, the lack of heroku function is obvious. We can only hope that the Salesforce company, by introducing Java,. NET, Python, C, C + + and other types of enterprise-class users may use the programming language and stack applications, To enable Heroku projects to gain more resources to enhance their scalability. Heroku in some ways is similar to Apple's platform, the service product approach: It focuses on solving a class of problems and is very, very much in place; If this is the case, we often seek solutions from VMware companies.

Cloud Foundry has the biggest heritage advantage in the list of products, but in the current market it is playing the awkward dark horse role. In other words, whether the future of Cloud foundry is bright depends entirely on how VMware companies shape it.

The guiding ideology behind Cloud Foundry is great: Integrate Java, Ruby, and Node.js into the same platform for wide availability. Unlike the Heroku hosted by the Yu Yun platform, Cloud Foundry is designed to run on top of the user's data center. As a result, your enterprise-class spring applications can be migrated to this modular platform and deployed to data centers that require cloud foundry functionality. And with the support of SpringSource behind the platform, you can all be confident that Java stack apps will become faster, smaller, and more optimized.

There are, of course, some doubts about the platform. But these doubts are unfounded, and VMware has made little response. Cloud Foundry was only a theoretical one, but VMware first brought it into the bag a few days before the acquisition of SpringSource. It is rumored that the potential value of the Cloud Foundry project has led to a wavering VMware firm's determination to buy SpringSource.

However, the takeover event was old news two years ago, and cloud foundry still did not appear in the full version of the world. The truth seems to be that VMware, after completely missing Heroku, has instead decided to revise the plan to create a rival that is strong enough to compete with Heroku. Once the cloud foundry and its MicroCloud desktop systems are deployed in a test environment, a new, practical and powerful product will be born. Please pay attention to the new version of MicroCloud that will be launched later this summer or to cloud Foundry's own site.
