Cloud Platform as a Service (PaaS) is a rapidly growing IT paradigm which enables software developers to deploy applications without the burden of software platform maintenance.Currently, the PaaS market is dominated by a few providers that promote incompatible standards.This introduces adoption barriers that prevent the interoperability between heterogeneous PaaS offerings, so software developers are not able to manage distributed applications spanning multiple public/private clouds.In this paper we present a multi-PaaS application management solution as a result of the Cloud4SOA European project that addresses these challenges.To clarify this approach a distributed deployment and cloud bursting scenarios are used.
