| title | author | length |
|---|---|---|
| Is the Enterprise Ready for the Cloud? | Mark Masterson | 17m |
Conclusion: enterprises are largely not ready for the cloud but that lack of readiness is irrelevant because cloud fundamentally reduces the cost of failure… | ||
| The Future of the Cloud | J.P. Rangaswami | 29m |
Argues that cloud design must embrace organic, failure-tolerant systems rather than recreate vertically integrated stacks, proposing design for loss of control… | ||
| Are Open APIs Enough to Prevent Lock-in? | George Reese, James Duncan | 43m |
Debate argues open APIs help but do not guarantee escape from lock‑in: Eucalyptus (EC2 clone) shows an implementation can exist, while Chef automation plus DNS… | ||
| Cloudy Futures? The Role of Open Source in Creating Competitive Markets | Rick Clark | 09m |
OpenStack aims to commoditize the low-level cloud stack so companies stop reinventing messaging, API, hypervisor and instead compete on higher-value services… | ||
| The Government and Cloud | Kate Craig-Wood | 10m |
UK public IT spends about $25 billion a year across roughly 140 data centers and the g‑cloud plan aims to rationalize them into private, community and hybrid… | ||
| Cloudy Operations | John Willis | 22m |
Cloud does not magically include ops: providers supply VMs but not orchestration, config management or system integration, so teams must build provisioning… | ||
| Security, Identity - Back to the Drawing Board? | Subra Kunaraswamy | 25m |
Claims that public cloud risk centers on lack of transparency and a shifted trust boundary, with the perimeter “melted” and controls needing to sit next to… | ||
| Welcome | Simon Wardley, John Willis | 14m |
Opening frames cloud as an evolution: a collection of once-novel activities becoming utility services via an S‑curve from innovation to commodity, with CRM ->… | ||
| The Cloud Myths, Schemes, and Dirty Little Secrets | Patrick Kerpan | 18m |
Amazon demonstrates ephemeral vs persistent images: spot instances vanish when price spikes and instance-store data disappears, while EBS-style images persist… | ||
| Curing Addiction Is Easier | Stephen O'Grady | 19m |
Claims that cloud lock-in drives vendor profitability and throttles adoption, supported by examples: Amazon's API and terms deter large enterprises, Red Hat… | ||
| Cloud, E2.0 - Joining the Dots | Dion Hinchcliffe | 30m |
Cloud becomes the global SOA: web APIs and linked data power platforms not point apps, with Amazon showing AWS bandwidth eclipses Amazon website and Twitter at… | ||
| What We Need Are Standards in the Cloud | Sam Johnston, Benjamin Black | 45m |
Argues that cloud success needs concrete, open interfaces and open formats with at least one open source implementation and royalty‑free patents, not vague… | ||
| Open Source and the Cloud | Rick Clark, Neil Levine, Marten Mickos, James Urquhart | 36m |
Panel argues that cloud infrastructure is converging but unsettled: Ubuntu is the number one operating system in the cloud, two open-source stacks… | ||
| The Future of Open Source | Neil Levine | 10m |
Developers assume hyperscale from day one, driving NoSQL like Hadoop and Cassandra, and pushing devops teams to own code plus deployment; the next tools focus… | ||
| Cloud and Open Source - A Natural Fit or Mortal Enemies? | Marten Mickos | 09m |
Cloud forces software to be designed for horizontal scale and massively distributed deployment; relational databases struggle but MySQL scales into the cloud… | ||
| The Journey So Far | James Urquhart | 11m |
A rapid timeline maps cloud from early utility computing to a hype surge: S3 spring 2006 and EC2 August 2006 introduce storage and compute on demand… | ||
| Infoware + 10 Years | Tim O'Reilly | 11m |
Argues that since 1997 the value in computing shifts from hardware and boxed software to infoware: information-plus-action delivered from the cloud, with… | ||
| A Cloudy Future or Can We See Trends? | Kate Craig-Wood, Dion Hinchcliffe, Tim O'Reilly, JP Rangaswami | 50m |
Open-source cloud stacks still miss hard enterprise requirements like governance, auditability and regulatory data residency, causing most large orgs to pilot… | ||
