The Mock IaaS feature in Stratos simulates the basic features that Stratos requires from an IaaS. Thereby, providing a cost effective way of trying out Stratos.

For information on Mock IaaS, see Apache Stratos Mock IaaS.

  1. Ensure that all the following prerequisites have been met based on your environment and IaaS.

    You only need to install Maven, JDK, Git and Apache ActiveMQ when working on a Mock IaaS.
