Cloud computing has moved from an emerging technology to an accepted computing strategy. With closer investigation it’s easy to find many of enterprises, whether commercial, financial or government institutions already use some type of Cloud services with rapid trends of growth. Same organizations are faced with big challenges from budgeting and competition perspective that is leaving very little space for exploring and developing new services and business models. Although initially targeted as infrastructure play, over the time Cloud has developed into many different models. From Infrastructure, Platform to Business Process ‘as a Service’, it is implicating changes on different levels, including how applications and services are developed and implemented. Platform as a Service is giving more and more power to the developers by integrating development tools and large number of ready services with platform to test and run final application. It also enables them to experiment and play with new technologies that they might not have considered in the past, bringing new ideas and innovation into the game.
