When cloud computing hype began, many viewers foresaw the end of Java. The programming language was, in their eyes, too cumbersome for the demands of fast and lightweight performance in internet-based computing. The introduction of VMForce and addition of Java support to the Google App Engine proved Java had a place in the cloud. Recent Java Platform as a Service (Paas) developments suggest Java is becomeing further entrenched.
Red Hat announced the purchase Makara,an application deployment and monitoring provider, in order to accelerate development of its PaaS offering. According to Tim Prickett Morgan at Channel Register, Makara’s cloud application platform helps scale resources allocated to Java applications as they run on a PaaS. Because Java applications are often demanding of resources, scalability is essential.
