WSO2 Stratos is a complete cloud middleware platform for implementing an
enterprise service-oriented architecture (SOA). WSO2 Stratos is open source
and is available under Apache license. It is built on top of and extends
WSO2 Carbon, the award-winning, comprehensive, concise, lean enterprise
middleware platform.
With WSO2 Stratos, IT professionals have a fully hosted
platform-as-a-service (PaaS) for rapidly building and deploying services
and composite applications, with instant provisioning capability. WSO2
Stratos delivers on the promise of cloud computing with a complete,
enterprise middleware platform for delivering applications that can run on,
and integrate with, any combination of private clouds, public clouds and
on-premise systems. WSO2 Stratos is equipped with features for auto-scaling
and single sign-on, as well as enhanced functionality for automatic
activity monitoring, usage metering, and centralized governance and
identity management.
An open source product, WSO2 Stratos is available under the Apache Software
License (v2.0) . This includes all of the extra integration and management
functionality as well.

*Key Features*
- Auto-scaling capabilities. WSO2 Stratos automatically adjusts the use
of cloud resources to meet increased or decreased demand.
- Single sign-on functionality. Users only need to sign on once to
access all WSO2 Stratos services that they are authorized to use.
- Enhanced automatic activity monitoring. Activity monitoring is
available in real time, so there is no time gap between data collection and
the availability of data for monitoring.
- Enhanced usage metering. Metering is automated so that every operation
by tenant users will be monitored and recorded. The metering information
can be used for billing and for offering constrained access for certain
services.
- Enhanced centralized governance and identity management. All the
resources of all Stratos services can be monitored and governed from a
single point - from WSO2 Stratos governance. When a modification, such as
changing a security policy, or changing the keystore, is done from a single
place, it is immediately visible to all other services. In addition to
that, all services share a single user store. When a user is added from a
service, that new user can immediately access all other services available
for the tenant.
- Tenant aware logging. Tenants can view their logs in order to monitor
the status of the deployed services of and applications. It is also helpful
for debugging purposes.
- Data-as-a-Service Data-as-a-service offers storage for tenant's
application data. In this release of Stratos, we offer two built-in storage
options. WSO2 RSS (Relational Storage Service) & CSS (Cassandra Storage
Service). RSS allows creating tenant specific MySQL databases instances and
CSS allows creating column family based storage. In addition, one can use
other RDBMS engines to store data as well.
