Java Cloud Hosting - autoscaling, easy deploy, environment management

Friends, we continue the closed beta test of the cloud platform for Java applications. The most important business moment in our future development are preliminary agreements with one of the leaders of hosting services in the European market. We found an excellent partner - this is one of the most successful hosting providers in Europe. In addition, our team is preparing to launch a new information site and a new unique cloud functionality. For the convenience of creating environments, we have developed a server topology constructor - a visual builder. You will not find a similar solution even with Amazon Beanstalk.
However, today it is not about that. The specified functionality and the name of our partner will be announced next time. Today, for those who participate in closed beta testing, we offer to try our updated functionality. We took into account your wishes and released an interim update.

In the update, several important points were finalized:

Third level domains

Now you can attach a third-level domain based on * .jelastic.com to your environment. The name of your environment corresponds to the domain.


')
Thanks to this, you can easily link any second level domain to your environment. This can be done using CNAME.

mydomain.ru. CNAME myapp.lejastic.com.

Multiple contexts within a Tomcat

Often, different applications can work on the same server in different contexts. At the request of our users, we added support for deploying to different contexts.

1. Choose the right environment



2. Specify the context



Deploy procedure in different contexts is very simple and convenient.

Contexts can be deleted and renamed.

Editing Tomcat Configs

If there is a need to edit server configs, this can be done very simply through the configs manager.



When editing, try not to shoot yourself in the foot.

Also, a lot of small and big bugs were eliminated. Improved and other your requests. You can find not a complete list of your requests processed on our feedback pages.

Present and Future

Colleagues, we apologize to those who submitted applications for participation in the beta test, but still have not received an information letter with access parameters. We are gradually increasing our capacity and will soon be able to provide access to everyone without exception. If you are very eager to “burn” with desire and can give us feedback - write to me in PM, I will try to speed up the process of getting access.
If you already have access, please write us a few words about your impressions or needs. Even if these are rays of hatred, we also need them. We digest any information.

Follow the announcements.
