Abstract
This chapter presents a set of ready to go solutions which, either for their wide diffusion in the cloud computing scenario or because they implement established or emerging standards (see Chap. 5), have a fundamental role in providing interoperable and portable solutions. In particular, Amazon Web Services (AWS) and OpenStack have imposed themselves as “de-facto standards” at the IaaS level, since their wide adoption has led other providers to develop APIs and interfaces that are compatible with their offers. At the PaaS level, Microsoft Azure, Google App Engine, IBM Bluemix, and OpenShift, with their multi-language support and ability to interface with other platforms’ services, surely enhance application portability and thus deserve to be cited here. Such solutions are positioned with respect to the use case scenarios and features defined in Chap. 1, and tested by analyzing their application to the case study illustrated in Chap. 1. Finally, we also present solutions that have been explicitly created for portability and interoperability purposes, like Docker, ElasticBox, and Cloudify.
