Cloud for the Enterprise Event: Los Angeles
Amazon AWS is hosting a Cloud for the Enterprise Event in Los Angeles today, October 15th. In attendance will be several guest speakers, describing their own experiences using Amazon EC2 and S3. Our own Jeremy Edberg will be discussing his experiences moving reddit.com from a standard colo infrastructure to Amazon EC2. Reddit.com is a high-traffic dynamic site, and therefore requires a significant infrastructure in order to scale reliably. Moving to EC2 required several important architectural changes to get around some of the limitations of EC2. The result, however, is a better and more reliable infrastructure that leverages the flexibility of the Cloud — while addressing the ephemeral nature of virtualized instances.
Werner Vogels, CTO of Amazon.com will be the headline speaker for this event, so stay tuned for updates on Werner’s talk and further details on the event.
Revolution:Cloud
Cloud Computing is rapidly altering the world around us — not just the technology industry, but also day-to-day business, and even our lives at home. Our mission is to capture these changes, covering technology news, thoughts, ideas, and best-practices related to the emerging field of cloud computing.
"Revolution:Cloud was founded by Paul Tepper Fisher, Rajiv Pant, and Jeremy Edberg. We are also publishing a book, which will be published early next year by Apress. Similar to the website, the book attempts to put the current trends in computing within a historical context, coalescing thoughts, ideas, case-studies, and predictions from technology leaders and pioneers.
