PDX Cloud – A Question Posed.

PDX Cloud – A Question Posed.

By Adron Hall on October 13, 2013

I attended the PDX Cloud meeting to present, but more to ask a question. Here’s how I posed that question (slide deck at the bottom of this blog entry). I frame the scenario of the distributed development world of cloud computing, dive into the vertical world of enterprise dev and then throw down the big […]

Architectural PaaS Cracks or Crack PaaS

Architectural PaaS Cracks or Crack PaaS

By Adron Hall on July 29, 2013

Over the last couple years there have been two prominent open source PaaS Solutions come onto the market. Cloud Foundry & OpenShift. There’s been a lot of talk about these plays and the talk has slowly but steadily turned into traction. Large enterprises are picking these up and giving their developers and operations staff a …

Deploycon, PaaS & the pending data tier gravity fallout…

By Adron Hall on April 1, 2013

For a quick recap of last years Deploycon & related talks, check out my “Day #3 => DeployCon && Enterprise && Data Gravity” entry from last year. PaaS Systems aren’t always effectively distributed. Heroku has fallen over every time east-1 has gone down at AWS. Not that I’m saying they’ve done bad, just pointing that […]

Adam & Krishan Got Me Motivated Today… to toss the trash conversations

By Adron Hall on September 7, 2012

I was speaking with Krishan Subramanian (@krishnan) and Adam Seligman (@adamse) today. I love talking to these guys. They’re both smart, intelligent and upbeat guys. They see the positive things we’re all working toward and accomplishing in the technology space, specifically around PaaS, Cloud Computing and around the cultural implications of stronger technology communities, involvement …

The Bad, The Ugly and The Good Bits :: Sexism, VMworld 2012 & Smart Cool People

By Adron Hall on August 30, 2012

The Divide in Technologists… Sexism & Those That are Building Tech There seems to be a pretty distinctive divide in the technology industry today. There are the young, open minded, devop oriented, free-thinking individuals and then there are the old guard of IT. This later group still brings the “booth babes” and finds an incessant […]

East & West Coast PaaS, Being Polyglot, Reply to Dan Turkenkopf

By Adron Hall on August 13, 2012

Dan (he’s a good guy, check him out on Twitter @dturkenk), your “East Coast vs West Coast PaaS Psychology. And Why It Matters.” is great write up. Loved it! I’ve got to say, I’m pretty much in agreement with almost every single thing you’ve written here. Matter of fact I’m staunchly in agreement with a […]

By Adron Hall on July 22, 2012

Tuesday night, as usual ended with great technical conversation at Bailey’s Taproom. Bailey’s is basically the epicenter of the Portland tech scene. Almost every programmer, devops, or technical person either goes about once a month or has this establishment as a regular watering hole! It’s great, the atmosphere is chill, the beer is SUPERB, the […]

OSCON 2012 Opening Doors Today kicked off with a monster Reggie Biscuit from Pine State Biscuits. If you live in Portland or are visiting just for the conference and like soul food of the tastiest nature, check it out. My first day ended up not as planned.

IaaS vs. PaaS or Infrastructure vs. Platform and I Want Beer NOW!

IaaS vs. PaaS or Infrastructure vs. Platform and I Want Beer NOW!

By Adron Hall on July 6, 2012

A friend and now coworker of mine, Richard Seroter (@rseroter & Blog) decided to do a comparo. I took the infrastructure based deployment, ala IaaS and he took the platform based deployment, ala PaaS. What we’ve done is taken a somewhat standard ASP.NET MVC with Entity Framework, a SQL Server Database, a UX & UI design […]

Ok, Let’s Get Some Definitions & Operational Models Straight Here! PaaS is NOT…

By Adron Hall on June 25, 2012

I just got signed up for Cloud Connect Chicago and started checking out some of the talks. One talk jumped out, being that it is about PaaS Technology. After reading it though I immediately felt the need to straighten out some things that looked misleading. Maybe the presenter (JP Morgenthal) will lay these things out […]

I Can Talk About It Finally! => Tier 3 Web Fabric Platform as a Service (PaaS)

I Can Talk About It Finally! => Tier 3 Web Fabric Platform as a Service (PaaS)

By Adron Hall on May 9, 2012

A couple months ago I shifted gears and started working for Tier 3 on a number of projects. I made this decision for a few reasons: 1. I’m a huge advocate of PaaS (Platform as a Service) technologies. I like what PaaS enables and what it eliminates. Matter of fact I’d say I’m a bull …

New update and bits coming up in the near term. I wrapped up my work with AppFog’s Fort of Awesome and am now putting together blog articles & technical material for New Relic these days.

Reality Distortion Field : 17 Companies’ Sitrep

By Adron Hall on December 12, 2011

I’m sitting on the bus this morning. As happens almost every day of the week. I’m flipping pages, sort of, it’s an eBook on my Kindle App. I’m reading about Steve Jobs taking over the Macintosh Program at Apple. How things started to fall into place for Apple, for the Macintosh, and how Jobs saw […]
