Slide Objectives:
When comparing PaaS and IaaS, PaaS is more simple, inexpensive and fast to deploy and scale. Using the Engine Yard PaaS enables you to maximize the benefits of using the cloud without losing control. The table below summarizes the differences in initialization, updating and scaling.
Why spend time and resources installing and configuring all the platform components yourself? You’ll also have to worry about optimizing and keeping your tools and software stack up to date, installing new patches, writing custom scripts for basic functionality and to ensure that everything constantly works together. And once your application needs to scale, your operational tasks will become even more complex, time consuming and very expensive.
With PaaS, you offload your development operations function and have the PaaS provider handle the tools and components required to deploy and manage applications reliably. And you’ll still have control over your environment without having made any compromises. So don’t do it yourself just because you can. Do it only when you absolutely have to.

21. Staged Deployments – Overview
Deploy to a separate deployment slot
Swap sites and site configurations between deployment slots
Available in the Standard web hosting plan
Four deployment slots in addition to the production slot are supported

PaaS - Development

23. Staged Deployments – Drawbacks
Scaling is not available for non-production slots. It is only available for production slots.
Linked resource management is not supported for non-production slots.
You can still publish directly to your production slot if you wish.
By default, your deployment slots (sites) share the same resources as your production slots (sites) and run on the same VMs. If you run stress testing on a stage slot, your production environment will experience a comparable stress load.
