Parallels – Optimized Computing TM 3 Definition APS standard is a set of specifications that covers provisioning, management and integration of cloud-based services and applications. APS covers full service life cycle and was designed from the ground up to address requirements of SaaS and cloud computing paradigms, such as full automation and delegated administration. APS is an open standard, controlled by a non-profit organization. All specifications are available for free and open membership allows ISVs and cloud operators to engage in development of APS standard.

Parallels – Optimized Computing TM 4 Overview Created by Parallels in 2007 Initially covered provisioning and management of simple web apps in shared-hosted environments Is being extended to cover – Wide variety of applications – Full application lifecycle – Application licensing – Application integration The purpose of APS (Application Packaging Standard) is to standardize technology to provision, manage and integrate applications and services in computing clouds and create a large-scale cloud computing ecosystem where software vendors and cloud operators together deliver a wide variety of services to businesses and consumers.
