An entry into the world of clouds
I’m not going to talk about my maiden flight in this post but about the latest tech buzzword (atleast for me), Cloud Computing.
On 20th August 2010, I attended an AWS (acronym for Amazon Web Services) User Group Meeting at Tidel Park. Simone Brunozzi, Tech Evangelist from AWS Asia Pacific addressed the audience on the latest from Amazon on Cloud computing and also asked a few questions to understand the extent of usage, complaints and wish list.
This was followed by a panel discussion featuring seasoned Cloud Technologists on the panel answering questions ranging from totally non-technical to high-geeky stuff.
Given our interest to enter the SaaS arena with our offerings, this event was an eye opener on the way to go to deploy our proposed applications on the cloud.
The event was well organized, started and ended on time and was pretty valuable for new entrants like me.
Thank you Balaji for organizing this event and for inviting me over. Perhaps I will graduate to asking more specific questions the next time around.
