if i hear quot;cloud computingquot; or other
variant one more time, i'm likely to
strangle someone

14. We must implement our codes to make
use of the synergies of the market leaders
to bring value to our TCO by using the
cloud.

By using the cloud all of your scalability
problems will be solved. Everything.
Slashdotted? No problem.You don’t even
need to think about scaling it. Our product
utilizes the cloud. The cloud is god.

17. SCALE MS PAINT INFINITELY

18. Just Ignore It

19. Amazon EC2

21. ~$80 month for a 24/7 server
Start out with two machines
Scale to a few thousand
... Then back down to two
research
load spikes
failover
because it is awesome

23. what if you can’t use ec2?
regulatory requirements
contract requirements
military secrets
already have a big hardware investment
because YOU can do it better

25. plop down half a billion dollars worth of hardware and open it to the
public?
Easy right?
