Velocity 2008
Joe Heck sums up his impressions of the Velocity 2008 conference and pushes back on the “cloud computing” hype:
“Some of the key technologies to make applications that “just work” in a cloud computing environment nice and seamlessly just plain don’t exist as yet. Everything in current environments is still manual, and frankly pretty complex. The “shove it into the environment and it just works” technology that enables automatic allocation of compute resources and nifty tricks like autoscaling isn’t there.”
