How to Succeed with the Cloud

  • Cloud, and specifically open source cloud is the buzzword of the past couple of years, everyone is talking about it, everyone wants it, but few grasp the concepts, and even fewer are successful with it. We’ll focus on Infrastructure as a Service (aka Compute Clouds) and Platform as a Service (aka Developer Clouds), discussing what they are, why they are important, and what you need to be successful with them. Attendees will walk away with a very clear understanding of what cloud computing is – what the use cases are for cloud computing, the business benefits, how to be successful with cloud computing, as well as the current state of the open source cloud computing field.

      The synergy between developers, business people, and teachers makes POSSCON pretty unique, I haven't really seen this anywhere else.

      It was very nicely run and I think you did a bang-up job. You should all be proud of what you did.

      This is like nothing you've ever seen before.  You can look at the pictures, you can watch the videos... but just like a concert, you have to be there.
