Overview
JPaaS is Libyan Spider’s cloud platform based on Virtuozzo’s leading PaaS technology. This article will help you understand how to get started with JPaaS: from what it is, how it works, how to create your account, order the service, and access the platform dashboard—all the way to deploying your application.
What is PaaS?
Before digging deeper into getting started with JPaaS, you need to learn more about a few terms. Platform as a Service (PaaS) is a complete development and deployment environment in the cloud. It provides resources that enable you to deliver everything from simple cloud-based apps to sophisticated cloud-enabled enterprise applications.
PaaS allows you to avoid the cost and complexity of buying and managing software licenses, infrastructure, middleware, or container orchestrators like Kubernetes. You manage your applications, while the cloud service provider manages the rest.
