I am now in San Francisco at the CommunityOne event. The focus this year is on Open Solaris and Cloud computing. The question I always have about Cloud is what is it really? Well from what I have seen and the people who know it tell me that it’s a kind of enterprise MVC design pattern, with cool tools. Think about creating your own virtual network. If you want a firewall, you drag a firewall to your network design. It works right there, or you can configure it to your needs if need be. You can virtually set up your Dev, test, and prod areas, and swap out your back end data store, or change parts of your system. You can backup your data to the cloud and access it anywhere. You can also pay for what you use in your data center.
As a JavaOne alum, today is very much about catching up with old friends. I am setting up lunches, dinners, and “networking” events. It is tough to go to the Thirsty Bear, but that’s what I do!
I will be giving daily updates as I can, so stay tuned!
