Cloud Computing - BPEL in the Cloud

An article by Denis on WSO2 OxygenTank, discusses multi-tenancy aspect in a cloud computing environment and some of the concerns of hosting business processes in the cloud.

WSO2 Business Process as a Service supports development and easy deployment of business processes modeled using the WS-BPEL standard in a multi-tenanted environment. Also it provides functionality for business process management and hosting in the cloud.

According to this article, some advantages of hosting business processes in the cloud include

  • Enables users to deploy the business processes which run on-premise business process run-time environments like WSO2 BPS. So the users can deploy the existing business processes, manage and monitor them securely in the cloud in the same way they would do on-premise
  • Scalability - On demand scaling business processes within a set of nodes such that it can maintain the run-time of state-full business processes.
  • Tenants can ignore the burden of maintaining a business process run-time infrastructure. They can host their processes in cloud and only focus on maintaining the business-process logic.
  • Cost-effective way to deploy business processes with the means of pay-per-use.
