What's new in this release

Apache Stratos version 4.0.0 is the successor of version 3.0.0. It contains several enhancements:

  • Multi-factors are taken into account when making auto-scaling decisions. While, integrating real-time and rule-based decision making. A Complex Event Processor (CEP) has been used for real-time decision making. 
  • Apache Stratos now includes two smart policies: Auto-scaling policy and deployment policy.
  • Cloud bursting across multiple IaaS with the use of smart deployment policies.
  • Better control over IaaS resources. DevOps can define partitions and network partitions to control IaaS resources in a more efficient manner. 
  • Apache Stratos has improved the Load Balancers (LBs), so that the LBs be deployed as a cartridge; therefore, this allows Load Balancers to scale up and down based on the load. While, also allowing third-party Load Balancers (e.g., HAproxy) to be used with Apache Stratos.
  • Apache Stratos uses an AMQP Message Broker (MB) for loosely coupled communication among all the components.
  • Apache Stratos, now supports Windows based (.NET) cartridges.
  • Puppet is used to configure all the cartridges. Thereby, making the configuration process more efficient.
  • Apache Stratos has revamped their web-based console. Now, DevOps are able to use the web-based console to easily deploy partitions, auto-scaling policies, deployment policies, Load Balancers, cartridges and multi-tenant service clusters.
