SUSE Cloud Application Platform

Cloud Native Developer Experience in Kubernetes

SUSE Cloud Application Platform is a modern application delivery platform used to bring an advanced cloud native developer experience to Kubernetes--the de facto standard for enterprise container orchestration. SUSE Cloud Application platform eliminates manual IT configuration and helps accelerate innovation by getting applications to market faster. Developers can serve themselves and get apps to the cloud in minutes instead of weeks, while staying within IT guidelines, and without relying on scarce IT resources to perform manual configuration each step of the way. Streamlining application delivery opens a clear path to increased business agility, led by enterprise development, operations, and DevOps teams.

SUSE Cloud Application Platform increases business agility by helping enterprises to:

Boost developer productivity with easy one step deployment of cloud native applications using the language and framework most appropriate for the task.

Reduce complexity and increase IT efficiency with a single, lean, platform that brings together proven open source technologies for rapid application delivery at scale.

Maximize return on investment with industry leading open source technologies that leverage your existing investments.

One-step application deployment allows developers to simply push applications from their desktop using the CLI or web UI. SUSE Cloud Application Platform automatically configures the environment, provides required dependencies, binds required services, and deploys the application as a container, which is then automatically managed and scaled.

Lean and fast, SUSE Cloud Application Platform increases efficiency by running in lightweight containers, not resource-hungry virtual machines. It consumes a fraction of the memory footprint of other distributions, while being faster to recover and scale.

Support for both the native Kubernetes (as a technology preview) and Cloud Foundry Diego container schedulers provides flexibility for operators. The new implementation allows operators to choose their container scheduler, giving customers the option to use either Kubernetes or Diego. Whichever is used, the developer experience remains the same.
