Well, sometimes I am ahead in technology and sometimes I am just a little behind. So finally I have decided to extend the blog (thank you for all the e-mails and encouragement by the way) with a channel at BrightTalk.
The Channel “Chris Boos on Automation” was created yesterday and I have scheduled the first WebCast on this Channel to take place Tuesday 11th May 2010 14h CET. The Topic of the first WebCast will be: “No Cloud without Automation” or “No Cloud without Automation – Because Cloud Computing Will Be an Epic Fail Without Automation”.
I will be talking about the administrative overhead clouds create and how this overhead can eat up all the advantages of a cloud when migrating business critical applications to the cloud. And (you know I am not a doomsday person) I will be speaking about a solution to this particular challenge.
If you are interested, please register at BrightTalk (just click on the channel and register there).
I am looking forward to speaking to you and answering all upcoming questions at this little presentation.
As you may have noticed – by me being silent = not part of my personality – the organization of the Frankfurt CloudCamp is putting all of us to the test. But today I have some great news for you.
We have published a first glimpse at the agenda of CloudCampFRA. I can honestly say that I am much looking forward to a fabulous event. Thanks to our sponsors we are able to organize a unique event in the successful history of creative CloudCamp unconferences and this is attracting great speakers.
You will be enticed into cloud philosophy presented by Simon Wardly (a great show is guaranteed) in the keynote. Visionaries like Tim Cole will give you security insights for the cloud and market makers like Cedric Hüsler will speak about business oriented cloud development.
With CloudCamp Frankfurt focusing on the business possible in clouds today, we have put together an agenda structured in four tracks:
Security and legal issues in the cloud
Business with the cloud
Developing for the cloud
Building and maintaining cloud infrastructures
No – there is no track for putting down yet another 25 descriptions of what a cloud is and why one needs one´s own definition….
I am also happy to announce (before this is even out on the official CloudCamp site) that we were able to increase the number of seats available at CloudCamp Frankfurt, so more of you can register and join in on interesting discussions, networking and game changing eco system building for the cloud environment of your choice. Thanks again to a great crew of corporate and media sponsors.
I think many CloudCamps have dealt with many good concepts on solving the technical challenges put forward by a parallel on demand computing environment. We want to address these issues in a track called “cloud programming” in the un-conference of Frankfurt´s CloudCamp. But we also want to put a stronger emphasis on commercial issues and what is actually possible today in a commercial environment.
So if you have anything interesting to contribute (not to sell) to the conference or if you are willing to share insights you have gathered at your own company or with clients, we are very happy to register your ideas and consider them for a talk, panel or even a track moderation.
I am looking forward to many interesting comments and e-mails.
