Presentation:

ConPaaS  [55] is a runtime environment for hosting applications in the cloud. It aims at offering the full power of the cloud to application developers while shielding them from the associated complexity of the cloud. ConPaaS is designed to host both high-performance scientific applications and online Web applications. It automates the entire life-cycle of an application, including collaborative development, deployment, performance monitoring, and automatic scaling. This allows developers to focus their attention on application-specific concerns rather than on cloud-specific details.

New features developed in 2015 include: a “Generic” service which allows the easy deployment and execution of arbitrary applications in ConPaaS; the “ConPaaS Nutshell edition” which allows users to deploy a fully-functional ConPaaS installation within a single VirtualBox VM; and the “ConPaaS Raspberry Pi edition” which allows users to deploy ConPaaS on a set of Raspberry Pi devices, paving the way toward the development of a fully-featured mobile edge cloud.

Impact:

ConPaaS is recognized as one of the major open-source PaaS environments. It is being developed by teams in Rennes, Amsterdam, Berlin and Ljubljana. Technology transfer of ConPaaS technology is ongoing in the context of the MC-DATA EIT Digital project.
