 <p>Another important extendability of Apache Stratos is that ability to plugin any IaaS due to the use of apache jclouds API. Which give more freedom to choose your own IaaS vendor, and it also enable to extend multiple IaaS integration, which is important in features like cloud bursting etc.
 <h2>True flexibility for custom services</h2>
 <p>If you look at current PaaS offering, you can't get true flexibility for your own custom service. Many cases, you have to bare with what they are offering and make your solution around it.  With the Apache Stratos cartridge model, you can create custom service, without any limited boundaries. Your cartridge can be fully configured (installed all software, configuration ..etc) or zero configured (let cartridge user to install and config what they want) or in-between.  This will allow you to customise your PaaS to suite in your current business workflows.</p>

 <h2>Multi-factored auto scaling</h2>
 <p>Majority of PaaS providers only used http traffic to auto scale or dynamic resource provisioning. It gives limitation on scaling non-http based application. But Apache Stratos auto scaler can take http traffic and non-http health data to do intelligent dynamic resource provisioning. Also its capable of dealing with these multiple factors run through scaling algorithm simultaneously. Inflight request count on Load Balancers, Load average, Memory consumption are some of factors and its easy to extend (benefit from clean unified communication) to any factors need to take care of the auto scaling.</p>

 <h2>Multi-tenancy</h2>
 <p>Multi-tenancy has different levels of isolations. Almost all PaaS vendors only provide container multi-tenancy like virtual machine, LXC or docker etc. But this is not scalable for large deployment scenario which has hundred thousand or million of tenants.</p>
 <p>Apache Stratos has both container and in-container multi-tenancy capability provide Apache Stratos to be in uniqueness in the PaaS space. With the In-container multi-tenancy support user can have high tenance density which optimised resource utilisation by sharing resources such as CPU and memory across the tenants.</p>

 <p>With the partitions and Network partitions, devOps can defined smart policies namely auto scaling and deployment policies, which can be used in cartridge subscriptions. Smart policies will provide cloud SLAs which absolutely mandatory when you consider cloud solutions.</p>
 <h2>Logging, metering and monitoring</h2>
 <p>Logging, metering and monitoring are primary but important features you should not neglect. Apache Stratos capable of capturing all health statistics, application logs well as usage and aggregate them into centralized location. it provide devOps life easy otherwise it is impossible task to login and monitor each and every instances in a large scale deployment which has hundreds of instances.</p>

 <p>Cloud bursting is now widely discuss since it reduces TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) while provisioning application into another cloud to handle peak load. Like all other aspect, Apache Stratos cloud bursting also carefully design to work with private, public and hybrid cloud with effective provisioning load balancers per bursting cloud.</p>
