Overview
SpineOS is a light but powerful and fully scalable PaaS Linux framework for faster and easier cloud development on public or private IaaS Cloud Platforms.
SpineOS is a tiny, but fully scalable, Linux system running into a virtual machine with all the services required to get a PaaS running on top of public or private Iaas Cloud Platforms.
SpineOS has a limited footprint. It runs on PC laptops.
So, with SpineOS you can write and test your application on your PC laptop. And, when it is ready, you can move SpineOS with your running application on a private or public IaaS Cloud Platform without any changes.
Why SpineOS
To get a powerful Linux platform with a very small footprint, secure and fully scalable.
A private PaaS (Platform-as-a-Service) helps organizations to keep their data private and secure. However, most of PaaS providers want to offer an universal solution that supports any expected requirements. Their VMs become huge with a lot of embedded software applications increasing the risk of security breaches.
We chose the opposite direction. We decided to build a very basic, but fully expandable, PaaS framework with a minimal set of services. Our PaaS framework runs a Linux kernel, provides a shell, allows a remote access through SSH and is protected with a stateful firewall. It aspires to follow the recommandations of French IT Security Agency with regards to security.
We chose to build it from a Slackware distribution because it relies on a vanilla Linux kernel and it provides a minimalist but powerful installer without dependency management. It allows us a full control on what we install.
Thus, with SpineOS you can start developing your application on a PaaS running on your laptop then move it to a IaaS Cloud.
