In this session you will learn about the capabilities and activities needed to be able to host production enterprise applications within the AWS cloud within your first 90 days.

• Three Things…

3. To Cloud or Not To Cloud

4. Mark Cohen, CTO at Domain, explained that one of the major
benefits of cloud computing is that it lowers the cost of failure,
to the extent that small trials which don’t work are instead
characterised as experiments. This, in turn, fuels innovation
efforts. He said Domain has moved from one release every three
weeks, to an average release-to-production of 60 software
updates per week. While these, he acknowledged, were “very
small incremental pieces” it did point to a more innovative culture.

on time and on budget
…and $250 million for every
billion spent on these projects
are wasted.
