For example in EC2 its EC2 instance. For OpenStacks its OpenStacks instance. For CloudStack its CloudStack instance. So what do we need to run an instance? For EC2 need AMI. For OpenStack , if KVM then KVM image, if Docker then Docker image ..etc. I hope you are clear above. OK, then will take PHP Cartridge. To run PHP, we need webserver+PHP runtime - (eg. apache+php5 setup). So making PHP cartridge mean we need to install Apache+PHP top of some OS. (Ubuntu or CentOS or ..etc). To make it Stratos aware we need to put Startos Cartridge Agent. Then if you want to run this cartridge top of EC2, you need to create AMI. For OpenStack, need KVM image or Docker image. Summery after setting up all required software for relevant cartridge, need to create image and register as a cartridge. PHP Cartridge = OS + Apache + PHP + Stratos Cartridge Agent. And for configuration easiness we are putting puppet agent and get all config (eg setting up stratos cartridge agent with relevant MB, CEP hosts ..etc) from puppet master. therefore PHP Cartridge = (OS + Apache + PHP + Stratos Cartridge Agent + Puppet Agent) image for relevant IaaS > Many thanks, > > Chris > --- > [1] > https://github.com/apache/incubator-stratos/blob/master/components/org.apache.stratos.cloud.controller/src/main/java/org/apache/stratos/cloud/controller/interfaces/Iaas.java > -- Lakmal Warusawithana Software Architect; WSO2 Inc.
