Flavors of PaaS

How many flavors of PaaS do we need?

  • PaaS for business apps
  • PaaS for toy apps (simple form-based CRUD) and simple business front ends (e.g. restaurant web sites)
  • PaaS for games, mash-ups and social apps
  • PaaS for multimedia delivery and live streams
  • PaaS for high performance and scientific computing
  • PaaS for spamming, hacking and other illegal activities (Zombies as a Service)
  • Other?

BTW, doesn’t “flavors of PaaS” sound like the name of a perfume? At least when I say it with my French accent it does.
