Abstract:
In this paper, we investigate the problem of development costs in Platform as-a Service (PAAS) cloud-based systems. We develop a set of tools to analyze the size of code executed to support features in the PAAS. In this research, we specifically focus on stable open source platforms to ensure as much of an equivalent offering from each platform. A distinction is made between PAAS and Platform Infrastructure as-a Service (PIAAS). The focus of the paper is on the features provided to the developer that are not provided by traditional network operating systems. Our study demonstrates a cost savings of nearly thirteen million dollars to develop the application services provided by a typical PAAS.
