This week's Amazon Web Services re:Invent conference was packed with interesting announcements, all of which showed that Amazon gets what their customers want: composable and modular cloud services that go beyond basic compute provisioning. From their Kenesis real-time stream processing service, to the addition of PostgresSQL to RDS and everything in between, AWS is pushing the market to make it easier and easier to build complex application architectures out of high value "as a Service" offerings.
I found in the day two keynote from Werner Vogels to be particularly interesting, especially with regard to his clear and undeniable focus on customer-driven service creation. They see a clear need from users, and attack that need directly. Amazon has been operating in this model for years now, and proving through their market success that customers want this modular approach.
David Linthicum makes the point over on InfoWorld that "PaaS isn't what it used to be", and he's right. Cloud Providers (public and private) have to find ways to match the AWS experience of modular service composition for their users. It's not only expected, but being demanded by users. This blending of the traditional "PaaS" and "IaaS" definitions is a natural market evolution, primarily because it's exactly how users want to consume services.
This is where CumuLogic can help. We're dedicated to making it easy for Cloud Providers to offer these "AWS-style" services to their users, regardless of the underlying IaaS layer being used.
