Stackato is polyglot Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) software. You can run it in your own data center using the hypervisor of your choice, or on your favorite cloud hosting provider to provide a private or public PaaS.
Documentation is provided for two different, but sometimes overlapping audiences:
- :ref:`Stackato Users <stackato-user-guide>` : Developers and other end users who will be using a PaaS set up and maintained by others.
- :ref:`Stackato Admins <stackato-admin-guide>`: System operators in charge of setting up, configuring, and maintaining the PaaS
Note
Stackato 3.0 is based on Cloud Foundry v2 and there are a number of important differences to be aware of if you are moving from Stackato 2.x:
- app deployment is now primarily done using :ref:`buildpacks <buildpacks>`
- some keys in :ref:`stackato.yml <stackato_yml>` have changed
- Groups have been replaced with :ref:`Organizations and Spaces <orgs-spaces>`
- the Stackato v3 API is not yet fully documented, but is compatible with the Cloud Foundry v2 API
