Finally, it provides an overview of how to easily get started with a RightScale account and deploy server templates across diverse resource pools.
Server-side application virtualization can help decrease software total cost of ownership (TCO) by allowing for more efficient consolidation and mobility of applications. It works by capturing applications and their dependencies in virtual application appliances (VAAs) that can run on any OS. This improves provisioning times and infrastructure utilization while reducing software lifecycle costs across private and public clouds. Using application layers and shared VAAs allows for reuse that further lowers TCO through better management and consistency of application runtimes and configurations.
The document discusses the anatomy of an open source cloud ecosystem. It explains that an open source cloud ecosystem involves open source software being delivered through cloud services, open source development being enabled by cloud computing models, and building clouds using open source infrastructure software. The cloud represents a shift from server-centric to application-centric computing. Open source communities can either build their own community clouds, support modifications on multi-tenant platforms, or choose infrastructure software wisely. Overall, open source and cloud computing improve each other rather than being competitive concepts.

MS TechDays 2011 - Cloud Computing with the Windows Azure PlatformSpiffy
This document provides an overview of the Windows Azure cloud computing platform. It discusses the types of cloud services including Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Software as a Service (SaaS). It then describes several key Windows Azure services like Compute, Storage, Database, Content Delivery Network, Reporting, Virtual Machines, Service Bus, Access Control, Caching, Virtual Network, and Marketplace. The presentation encourages Singapore companies using Windows Azure to contact Microsoft to have their applications featured. It concludes with inviting questions from attendees.
This document summarizes a presentation about using PHP in the cloud. It introduces the speaker and provides an overview of cloud computing models from infrastructure as a service to platform as a service. Key benefits of cloud computing for PHP developers are lower costs through optimized sharing of computing resources and the ability to scale easily to meet peaks in demand. The presentation demonstrates using PHP in Microsoft Azure and provides next steps for developers to get started.
The document discusses the Infrastructure 2.0 Working Group and where it is going from here. It considers membership, mission/goals, and outreach strategies. Some key points discussed are establishing membership tiers, crafting a mission statement focused on leveraging the network's power for virtualization and cloud computing, and identifying upcoming opportunities at events like Interop to showcase solutions and raise awareness of the group's work. Near-term next steps proposed are conducting interviews to build momentum and profile members and solutions at upcoming industry events.
This document discusses application mobility infrastructure 2.0. It defines application mobility as the ability to dynamically change some or all of an application's infrastructure without disrupting end user service. Benefits include optimizing an application's location based on performance, cost, or compliance policies. Enterprises benefit from an on-demand, elastic pay-per-use model while customers benefit from improved quality of service backed by service level agreements. Legacy applications can be made mobile by orchestrating or containerizing components, while new applications can be designed for mobility from the start.
The document discusses cloud computing standards and gaps. It presents two use cases: instantly migrating applications between virtual networks in different clouds, and migrating large datasets spanning hundreds of machines between clouds. It plans to release an open source reference implementation for these use cases and host an IF-MAP registry to experiment with intercloud services.
Cloud APIs provide programmatic access to cloud resources and services. They allow developers to interact with applications, development environments, and raw compute/storage resources through standardized interfaces. While each cloud provider currently has their own proprietary APIs, there is a push for open standards to accelerate development of higher-level services and commoditization of basic resources. Key areas for a common cloud API include resource representations, security requirements, and orchestration of ensembles of resources across providers.
This document discusses ways to motivate federation between organizations that provide cloud computing services. It argues that federation makes the most sense currently for researchers, as they have limited resources but could aggregate what they have. Federation may also make sense for governments and enterprise users to reduce risks. However, enterprise cloud providers have little incentive today to federate as they have sufficient scale and coverage already. The document raises questions about how to shape research efforts to make them relevant to other domains and compares the challenges of federation today to those in the early 1980s when the Internet began growing.
The presentation takes the Mark Cummings functional model and maps it to a communications stack model with its attendant metadata and associated policies.
Rich Miller & Surendra Reddy
Lighthouse is a concept for the creation of an intercloud registry service, based on (1) access points established and maintained by cloud instances to disseminate operational metadata; and, (2) the use of publish/subscribe (pub/sub) asynchronous messaging as the dominant means of disseminating operational metadata among the constituents of the intercloud.
