Abstract:
According to one aspect of the concepts and technologies disclosed herein, a cloud computing system can include a hardware resource and a Network Platform as a Service (“NPaaS”) layer. The NPaaS layer can expose a cloud service for use by a service that operates within at least one of layer 4 through layer 7 of the Open Systems Interconnection (“OSI”) communication model. The cloud service can include a database service, an application container service, a resource broker service, a load balancer service, a domain name system (“DNS”) service, a state persistence service, a probe service, or a combination thereof. The NPaaS also can receive a request for the cloud service, and in response to the request, can provide the cloud service.
