Lessons Learned From Implementing a Scalable PAAS Service by Using Single Board Computers
Description
When a Platform-as-a-Service is demanded and the cost for purchase and operation of servers, workstations or personal computers is a challenge, single board computers may be an option to build an inexpensive system. This paper describes the lessons learned from deploying the private cloud PaaS solution AppScale on single-node systems and clusters of single board computers.
