SUSE Studio: Configure and maintain portable and cloud-enabled application images or appliances.

This series is a part of our approach to help you improve or boost your knowledge and projects with the open source tools.
Therefore, we talk now about SUSE Studio. For those who unfamiliar, SUSE Studio is a web application for building and testing software applications in a web browser.


This application supports the creation of physical, virtual or cloud-based applications. It is available as an online or onsite version. The goal here is: enable you to build your own application images or appliances based on SUSE Linux Enterprise Server.
Therefore, it is designed to help you:

·         Build, configure and maintain portable and cloud-enabled application images or appliances,

·         To reduce the complexity, maintenance and support costs of software deployments.

·         The ability to leverage one new or existing application for various environments improves the efficiency of deploying and maintaining applications.

According to Dell TechCenter, SUSE Studio is a tremendous aid when it comes to reducing complexity. SUSE Studio leverages the appliance form-factor and allows you to effectively decouple the software installation from the underlying layer. This eliminates many of the version and patch management issues that you have to deal with normally. This can also help you standardize your applications to further reduce time, costs and maintenance for software applications deployed into your environment.
