In March of this year, REG.RU and Jelastic announced a strategic partnership. In the near future, users will be able to connect popular software solutions based on the Jelastic PaaS cloud hosting platform on the REG.RU website.
To minimize the number of possible bugs, it was decided to launch an open beta test of Jelastic cloud hosting. Testing participants will be available to many software solutions, including Joomla, Wordpress, Magnolia and others.
What is Jelastic?')
Jelastic is a new generation of hosting platforms for Java and PHP, providing the ability to run and scale Java / PHP applications without changing the code.
Connection and setup of environments are fully automated. There are no restrictions or special requirements for applications that protects the user from unexpected expenses.
What advantages does Jelastic PaaS have?• Horizontal scaling allows you to set the maximum resource consumption limit for your application with a few mouse clicks.
• Vertical scaling: if the application needs more RAM / processor power, the necessary addition is automatically added. As soon as such a need disappears, the RAM / processor power is automatically reduced.
• Jelastic supports Tomcat, TomEE, GlasshFish, Jetty Apache and NGINX application servers as servers of their applications, memcached, as well as SQL databases (MariaDB, PostgreSQL, MySQL) or NoSQL (MongoDB, CouchDB), which can be used via remote access.
• Jelastic VDS allows you to add a non-Java or PHP server to your environment, for example, if you need to add a mail server, a task scheduler or a backend component.
• It is possible to deploy the code directly in the environment using the Git or SVN version control system.
• Provided full access to configuration files and the ability to change the settings on your own.
• The ability to switch from one version of Java or PHP to another is implemented.
Deploying ApplicationsThe process of deploying applications consists only of the steps of downloading the archive and choosing a software solution in which to deploy this archive.
ScalingJelastic PaaS is the only cloud platform that can automatically scale any application, independently changing the amount of resources required by the server. When the load on the application grows, additional resources are automatically allocated to the server, and as the load decreases, the amount of resources consumed decreases.
ControlJelastic provides an extensive set of tools for analyzing and monitoring connected applications. In this case, the user in real-time mode receives data on traffic consumption, as well as information about the load on applications, used RAM and other consumed resources.
How to start working with Jelastic?On April 24, open beta testing of popular software solutions based on Jelastic PaaS, including CRM / ERP – systems, Java and PHP development services, as well as CMS solutions, started on REG.RU. Alfresco, Liferay, XWiki, Cyclos, Jenkins, Nexus, OpenCMS, Drupal, Joomla, Wordpress and Magnolia are available for cloud testing.
Anyone can take part in the beta test absolutely free of charge by registering
here . Testing services will be held within a month. According to its results, all the wishes and comments of the participants will be collected and processed. Join us;)
