I just wrapped up attending the AWS re:Invent conference, where ~9k people paid big money to come and learn better development, architecture, and deployment techniques. If the cloud were magic, that wouldn't happen. Though cloud architecture strategies look quite different than "legacy" systems, a large portion of the skills carry over. In fact, IMHO the patterns used to build highly-available, high-performing applications in the cloud (whether a local cloud, Rackspace, AWS, whatever) actually would be beneficial to employ when building bare-iron systems as well, due to the extreme focus in eliminating SPOFs. -Erik -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
