2. PaI = PaaS + IaaS
• Jelastic brings together the flexibility of IaaS and the ease of use of PaaS for
enterprises, hosting service providers and developers
• PaaS automates all routine tasks on apps deployment
• IaaS is used to build complex apps with
some components currently missing in PaaS
or very complex deployment architecture
• Both PaaS and IaaS can be mixed together
4. No Restrictions - No Lock-In
Many other PaaS platforms provide restrictions
and limitations such as
• no way to change configurations files for databases
and application servers
• no way to use public IP address or custom ports
• no way to use multicast network
• limited ways to deploy an application (only git-push-deploy)
• only shared load balancer without ability to tweak rules/configs
• strict limitations to write on the file system
• stateless design is strongly forced
With Jelastic you have no such restrictions!
5. High Density: Containers
Jelastic uses Containers virtualization as primary
virtualization option
• Containers’ auto-scaling allows to provide better density
• Containers have the minimal overhead in contrast to
hardware virtualization
• Containers can scale automatically
up and down without restart
– RAM, Storage, CPU, Network, IOPS
6. High Density: Auto-Hibernation
• Jelastic provides auto-hibernation of test and dev
environments after idle of user requests to them for
some time
• This dramatically economies hardware
resources and provides better density
• Jelastic resumes these environments
in seconds just after the first user request
7. High Density: Deduplication
Jelastic uses inbound to its virtualization technology of
file-system data deduplication
• Binaries, libraries and config files of middleware stacks or
end-user applications are usually the same
• Jelastic stores the same files only in a single instance on a
particular hardware server which can
provide more than 10x economy on
storage capacity
8. Containers and HypervisorVMs
Jelastic supports both Container and Hypervisor
virtualization technologies
• Containers provide better density and performance
• Hypervisors allow to run apps on different OS on the same
hardware server and avoid rare issues
with containers virtualization
9. Polyglot PaaS
Wide choice of Programming Languages and
Frameworks
• Java
• PHP
• Ruby
• Python
• Node.JS
• .Net support is coming in Q4
10. Supported Middleware Stacks

them automatically connected into the application stacks.The following
Database Servers are supported:
• PostgreSQL
• MySQL
• MariaDB
• Neo4j
• MongoDB
• Apache Cassandra

• CouchDB
In the near future Jelastic will support database clustering set just in one-click
with no additional configurations required.
12. Enterprise Apps with Java EE6
Ability to deploy Java EE6 applications on JBoss,
GlassFish and TomEE.
Automation of another Java EE Servers can be added
via cartridges.
This allows IT companies heavy using Java EE
to move their applications to the cloud without
re-writing or re-architecting them
13. OpenShift Cartridges Support

Developers (and Operations) to extend the PaaS with
specific enterprise standards or requirements
15. Docker Support
• Jelastic will support Docker images this fall
• All Docker images will be compatible with Jelastic
and will be available for provisioning middleware
stacks
16. Multi ElasticVPS
Along with PaaS Jelastic provides ability to use IaaS features,
represented by ElasticVirtual Private Servers
• VPS is represented by bareVirtual Container orVirtual
Machine
• VPS is suitable when you need to host custom workload
that currently is not supported by PaaS
(e.g. custom languages, DBs, Hadoop)
• It’s possible to ceate multipleVPS
and connect them seamless with
PaaS environments
17. Support of Legacy Apps
Jelastic implements “zero code change”
design from the first days.
You can deploy any app in the cloud, even
with outdated design or without
horizontal scaling settings.
This is very suitable especially for
proprietary software which distributes
only binaries.
18. Application Zero Lock-In
Jelastic includes unmodified open source language
runtimes. So applications developed on Jelastic can be
easily moved to other environments supporting the
same open source languages.
For example, Ruby or JBoss applications running on
Jelastic can be move to stand-alone implementations of
Ruby or JBoss in the datacenter
19. Stateless and Stateful arch
Jelastic supports specifics of stateless and stateful architecture
• The sessions are stored in different databases
• Applications can write on the file system
• Jelastic clones containers when an application scales horizontally
• Custom files and configs are fully replicated to the new container
• It is allowed to tune each container independently
• Session replication via multicast as approach to sync data in clusters forTomcat,
GlassFish and others
20. AutomaticVertical Scaling
• Ability to scale an app automatically Up and Down within
resources of hardware server
• Useful for legacy apps and apps that are not designed for
horizontal scalability
• Provides much more density
of applications and resource
usage than any other
Cloud/Virtualization technology
21. Vertical Scaling: How It Works
• During the load spikes Jelastic gives more resources to an
application (up to the predefined limits of a virtual container) and
takes them (resources) back when they are not needed anymore
• Jelastic tunes different stacks according to the available resources –
when user changes scaling limits of container Jelastic adjusts
configuration files of the stack inside the container.
• As a result Jelastic tries to utilize resources in the most optimal
way, for example: by default JVM GC is configured in the way that
allows to use vertical scaling without reloads
22. Hot Add of Resources
Jelastic supports hot add of any resources without app
restarts:
• RAM
• CPU
• HDD storage
• Network throughput
• IOPS
23. Automatic Horizontal Scaling
Jelastic enables cloud elasticity by providing automatic horizontal
application scaling due to load changes.
• In and Out scaling are supported
• Thresholds based on CPU, RAM, IO* usage
Horizontal scaling is a solution
• when your app is limited to
physical resource amount on
single hardware server
• when you need to handle
huge spike loads
24. CollaborativeWork

tariffs and discounts
• Pre-paid and post-paid models are supported
• Billing users on hourly basis
• CPU, RAM, Storage, Network traffic usage
• Arbitrary services
• Dynamic billing rates are supported, e.g. the more you consume the
less you pay for the unit of consumption
26. Limitation for Different Groups
• Support of different groups with different
permissions and quotas
• Company’s group policies can be implemented in
Jelastic through user groups
• Available personal limitations/quotas that override
groups one
27. Shared or Dedicated Load Balancer
Load balancing ensures high system availability through the distribution of workload
across multiple components. Using multiple components with load balancing, instead of
a single component, may increase reliability through redundancy.
Jelastic uses NGINX for two types of balancing:
• HTTP
• TCP
HAProxy will be added in the near future
via cartridges.
Jelastic provides a flexible choice of:
• fault tolerant shared load balancer for dev and test environments
• fault tolerant dedicated load balancer for production apps
28. SSH Gate
Jelastic users can remotely access individual application containers for
applications deployed on the PaaS in order to see their processes, file system,
and log files.This allows users to best architect and manage their applications
SSH Gateway accepts users’ connections from the internet and then transmits
these connections to the desired container, using an internal network
• Interactive menu and ability to travel across many environments and
containers without unneeded extra authentication
• Direct connect to any container
with support of SFTP, SCP, FISH,
Puppet, Chef, Capistrano, etc.
29. Chef and Puppet Integration

hardware servers become overloaded or applications
placed on them don’t have growth ability
• Smart live migration automatically rebalances Cloud
Cluster without any affect on app availability and
performance
44. SMART Containers/VMs Distribution
Jelastic provides smartVMs placement on their creation
• EachVM is placed using special algorithm with checking if
target server is able to handle workload of thisVM and
contains enough resources to host it
• This allows to avoid situations
when some hardware nodes in
cluster are overloaded and
others are almost idle
• Anti-affinity for smart distribution
across hardware nodes asures that app nodes will not
be placed at the same container
45. Software Defined Storage
• Software-defined-storage (SDS) allows fast
distribution across cluster and automatic fast
recovering of failed containers/VMs from the failed
hardware node
• Files and containers/VMs are replicated (usually have
3 copies) to protect from hardware failures
