  3. Definition • APS standard is a set of specifications that covers provisioning, management and integration of cloud-based services and applications. • APS covers full service life cycle and was designed from the ground up to address requirements of SaaS and cloud computing paradigms, such as full automation and delegated administration. • APS is an open standard, controlled by a non-profit organization. All specifications are available for free and open membership allows ISVs and cloud operators to engage in development of APS standard.

  4. Overview • Created by Parallels in 2007 • Initially covered provisioning and management of simple web apps in shared-hosted environments • Is being extended to cover • Wide variety of applications • Full application lifecycle • Application licensing • Application integration The purpose of APS (Application Packaging Standard) is to standardize technology to provision, manage and integrate applications and services in computing clouds and create a large-scale cloud computing ecosystem where software vendors and cloud operators together deliver a wide variety of services to businesses and consumers.

  7. Technology • Service delivery – APS packaging format to enable service provisioning, update and management • Service licensing – license format and protocol specifications to enable licensing, accounting and billing • Service integration – integration specifications to enable building integrated solutions

  8. Delivery • Multiple application types • Simple web applications (phpBB, Gallery, WordPress) • Business web applications (SugarCRM, OrangeHRM) • Traditional server applications (SQL Server) • Services (OpenXChange, SharePoint, ePages) • Packaging existing applications • Virtualization • Automated update • Full lifecycle management • Delegated administration
