Great post from @joehewitt on the iPad.Enterprise Cloud Summit
Posted by Matt Smith
I attended the Enterprise Cloud Summit in Las Vegas during Interop. It was a good experience, met some very good people, and learned a lot more about cloud computing.
Amazon announced their CloudWatch, Auto Scaling, and elastic load balancing for Amazon EC2. Which all look very interesting.
The running demo application was nice to see as it is able to run on multiple cloud platforms provided by different providers, you can try the demo here. The demo app used the open source project Panda, which was great as I had started investigating Panda shortly before the summit.
I look forward to deploying more applications in the "cloud".

Welcome to MattSmith.me. Here you will learn about all things related to, well, me. Most will be technical in nature as I am a computer programmer. Among other things I will review books I am reading and projects I am working on. Currently that would be on topics such as ruby, erlang, and REST.
Ruleby, ActiveRule, and Resterly are three projects I am working on. I cofounded the Ruleby project and will soon release ActiveRule and Resterly. ActiveRule will be a plugin aimed at making Ruleby easier to use with Rails and Merb. Resterly is an erlang based project to help with the building of REST based services in erlang. Hopefully these projects will be useful for others...
