On April 26, the Ministry of Science, ICT & Future Planning and the National Information Society Agency (NIA) unveiled the first version of the PaaS-TA, which is an open-source platform as a service for cloud computing service development.
The ministry worked on the cloud computing platform with the Ministry of the Interior from March 2014. At present, the domestic PaaS sector is characterized by various companies’ different development environments and a low level of compatibility, which have caused software service providers to repeat their development processes for services on different platforms.
The South Korean government developed the PaaS-TA at this time in order to address this problem. Supporting at least six development languages and diverse cloud computing infrastructure services, it is open-source software and can be utilized by anyone. In addition, it comes with the standard e-government framework and is capable of realizing e-government services on the cloud computing platform.
At a seminar following the opening, the NIA is to sign a memorandum of understanding with Koscom for a trial service of the Paas-TA. “This cloud computing platform will be a new opportunity for developers in South Korea,” said Han Sang-ki, head of the Open Platform Developers’ Community. He added, “It will allow them to develop globally competitive applications from now on.”
