“PaaSLane is critical to our migrationprocess. I compare it to a fish finderon a boat. Without one, the sea isvast and you can spend lots of timetrolling and never find fish.

Looking through 100,000 lines of code to identify what needs to change is similar. It’s easy to get lost and waste time.”

User perspective on PaaSLane

10

• Best practices for developing cloud applications

• Blockers that would prevent an application from running in a specific cloud platform

• Service recommendations for a platform’s built-in web services to replace third-party or custom-written services

• Optimizations that enhance an application’s compatibility, elasticity, or performance on a given cloud platform

• Governance and policy issues to help enforce corporate standards

• Code quality standards to improve the overall quality of an application

What is PaaSLane looking for?


11

• Adopt best practicesGeneral• Ensure stabilityAvailability• Reduce overprovisioningPerformance• Improve code qualityQuality• Eliminate scale bottlenecksScalability• Implement secure coding practicesSecurity• Enforce platform standardization and governanceStandardization

Rules

Over 250 rules currently implemented across 7 categories:

Custom rules allow users to build rules for specific needs, for example:• Private clouds: implement rules specific to your own private cloud technology stack

• Standardization: implement rules to enforce corporate technology standards


12

Prioritizing Alerts

• May fail to run or be a high security riskBlockers• Likely to impact performance or functionalityImportant• May be impactful: further research requiredWarnings• Build a more cloud-native applicationOptimizations

Each rule has a default severity, but users are able to easily re-classify any alert based on their own needs, for example:• Remove blockers based on acceptable risk

• Elevate warnings or optimizations to higher severity based on governance policies

PaaSLane defines four levels of severity for each alert:


13

What: Detect use of RPC/RMI calls that might indicate tight coupling of application components

Why: Tight coupling impacts horizontal scalability and resiliency in a cloud. Service-oriented architecture is preferred.

GENERAL

Avoid Tight Coupling of Components

package example.hello;import java.rmi.registry.LocateRegistry;

public class Client {

private Client() {}

public static void main(String[] args) {

String host = (args.length < 1) ? null : args[0]; java.rmi.registry.Registry registry = LocateRegistry.getRegistry(host); Hello stub = (Hello) registry.lookup("Hello"); String response = stub.sayHello();

First, detect RMI classes have been imported

Then, check for actual RMI calls in the code
