AWS Unveils An Open-Source Tool To Turn On-Prem Software to SaaS

AWS recently announced that it would release AWS SaaS Boost, an open-source tool to help companies transform their on-prem to a SaaS environment.

Ron Miller from TechCrunch has written on how AWS has planned this process and how it will be benefiting organizations.

Here is what he says:

• The mission of AWS is to create a community-driven suite for SaaS builders and foster an open environment to share and develop reusable codes that operate on AWS.

• SaaS Boost provides the tools to turn an application into SaaS where users can sign up and use it in the cloud context.

• Applications will be moved into the AWS system, where you can access all the AWS services.

• The open-source enables companies to access the source code, contribute to the project, expand the base product, and give it back to the community—a win-win for both users and AWS.

• The objective behind SaaS Boost is to get quality software from as many experienced developers as possible.
