Good question. Let’s take a little tour of the features that make building hosting environments really simple with Skystack.
Stacks
Organise your servers around what they are doing. Stacks are facilitators of all the interactions between servers inside the stack and other stacks. Stacks control which cloud vendor to use and what jurisdiction to locate the servers in. They provide assurance that your data is in a specific location.
Configurations
Configure your servers immediately after signing up, it's fast and reliable with our built-in configurations. To us being able to configure your environments in a consistent way is very important to enabling a better service. We ship Skystack with our own hand-made set of configurations to help you get started.
Bootstrapping
Bring your own configuration management. We think that with all that free time you may join the devops culture. That's why bootstrapping is a core part of our platform. Deploy and configure your servers using tools you already have available.
Bootstrapping makes it easy to take a blank server and configure it "on the fly" to do what you want.
Sharing
Sharing is simple, we mean really simple. Like one-click simple. This means you can take all you hard work building an App and share it with colleagues.
Dynamic DNS
All of this plus
Well designed User Interface
A stunning user interface abstracts the complexity of managing the technologies under the hood. You will find yourself creating servers, terminating them rebuilding them and wonder what all the fuss is about. Enabling you to build your pain free hosting platforms quicker than was ever possible.
Easy to integrate REST based API
A optimised API also makes it simple to develop new features for your hosting platform, providing means to automate, recover from failure and audit your environment.
Secure 256bit AES Encryption
All communication between your servers and Skystack is encrypted. This secures you from many attacks and provides peace of mind for your business and using cloud platforms.
SLA Monitoring and measurement (Apdex)
We monitor a variety of metrics we measure to monitor the quality of our service and report to you every month how we performed. Our goal is to consistently provide a Apdex of 0.9 to 1.0.
