DESCRIPTION
Here's a sneak preview of our upcoming webinar: Increase SaaS Efficiency: Focus on Windows Azure. More companies are turning to the cloud to develop and deliver Software as a Service (SaaS) applications. Key benefits include increased efficiency and better development velocity during the development and testing stages. As a result, more changes can be incorporated into each production release during a release window. Using Windows Azure as an example, Dr. Jacob Ukelson will show how release operations can extend the cloud in order to: Execute efficient production deployments Bridge the gap between development and production Reduce maintenance windows Dr. Ukelson’s presentation will include a live demonstration and end with a Q&A session, which will be open to all webinar attendees. 'Increase SaaS Efficiency: Focus on Windows Azure' will be held on Wednesday, November 14, 2012 at 11am EST/4pm GMT.

NIST Definitions of Cloud Computing
• Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)– The capability provided to the consumer is to provision processing, storage, networks, and
other fundamental computing resources where the consumer is able to deploy and run arbitrary software, which can include operating systems and applications. The consumer does not manage or control the underlying cloud infrastructure but has control over operating systems, storage, and deployed applications; and possibly limited control of select networking components (e.g., host firewalls).
• Platform as a Service (PaaS)– The capability provided to the consumer is to deploy onto the cloud infrastructure consumer-
created or acquired applications created using programming languages, libraries, services, and tools supported by the provider. The consumer does not manage or control the underlying cloud infrastructure including network, servers, operating systems, or storage, but has control over the deployed applications and possibly configuration settings for the application-hosting environment.
• Software as a Service (SaaS)– The capability provided to the consumer is to use the provider’s applications running on a
cloud infrastructure. The applications are accessible from various client devices through either a thin client interface, such as a web browser (e.g., web-based email), or a program interface. The consumer does not manage or control the underlying cloud infrastructure including network, servers, operating systems, storage, or even individual application capabilities, with the possible exception of limited user-specific application configuration settings.

SaaS and PaaS
• Most SaaS applications are not built on a public PaaS– Nolio has provided a “Private PaaS” for many
SaaS applications
• Traditional applications looking to move to SaaS are prime candidates for public PaaS
• PaaS is great for Dev\Test (assuming you stay within the platform boundaries) – but is missing the control need for Enterprise SaaS deployments

Missing Links in Azure – the Checks and Balances Needed for Production Release
• Operational artifact management and administration– e.g. Certificates
• Customer specific onboarding and operations– e.g. Specific DB initialization
• Incremental updates and changes– Not deploying complete builds
• Differential, managed COPO
