 <p>If you evaluate current PaaS vendors, one of major misleading facts that you can see that they claim their offering is driven by the community. But if you carefully analyzed, these offerings either belong to a single corporation or a few select large sponsors. But Apache Stratos is the only open community controlled open-source PaaS offering. Apache community, where participation is based on participation and meritocracy instead of financial sponsorship. Apache community meritocratic process known as "The Apache Way," more than 400 individual members and 3,500 committers successfully collaborate to develop freely available enterprise-grade software, benefiting millions of users worldwide. Apache Software Foundation is established in 1999, the all-volunteer Foundation oversees more than one hundred and seventy leading Open Source projects, including Apache HTTP Server --the world's most popular Web server software, Tomcat server, Cassandra, CouchDB, CloudStack and many others.</p>
 <p>This is very important that, if you think your PaaS offering need to have true community ecosystem, find out carefully how established and has openness of the saying community.</p>
 <h2>Open extensible architecture</h2>

 <p>Above diagram shows, how Apache Stratos core components (Cloud Controller, CEP, Auto Scaler, Stratos Manager which include Artifact distribution Controller and Rest API) integration with IaaS layer, foundation services and dynamic services that are cartridges.</p>
 <h2>Why is this architecture so important?</h2>
 <p>Cartridge model provide run time extendability to bring any type of cartridges such as language cartridge, framework cartridge, data cartridge ..etc without binding to any specific Operating Systems. This bring polyglot nature for tha PaaS and its is so important, because not to trap with limitation that many PaaS offering has.</p>
