#cloudscale

We, the cloud computing evangelists and pundits, talk a lot about the scale offered by cloud platforms. There were three more examples to the idea of #cloudscale today. I just thought I will do a quick evening note to highlight these stories.

  • Rightscale launched its 3 Millionth server last night
  • Eucalyptus platform can now scale up to 100K nodes
  • As we speak, Heroku is supporting 200K apps

Thatz #cloudscale for which most of us get excited these days.

    Great for the space. This time next year you’ll have 20 examples like this. Exciting days ahead!

    Krishnan –
    We’ve definitely moved beyond “Blah Blah Cloud.” You say three ‘more’ examples… are there others top of mind that you can post? I’ll add a bit more to the 3MM servers number – each 1MM has taken us half the time to reach as the previous 1MM. #cloudscale is picking up speed.
