" summary

SoftLayer is now part of IBM and offers IaaS with public virtual machines and bare metal servers that it owns and manages, exposing a documented API used by OpenStack, Salt, Puppet and others. A demo application implements tweet-triggered autoscaling, where a hashtag spins up a VM with a BOINC client to join SETI or CERN for one hour. Work spans hobby projects to HIPAA-compliant enterprise systems, facial recognition and comic distribution, and a $2 billion data-center expansion aims to roughly double locations.
