Let me paint the picture for this environment; “This environment has several hundred servers, and several hundred applications.

Following Good Practice, The Negative Bits About Windows Azure First, But Gems Included! :D

By Adron Hall on September 7, 2011

OSCON: Talking Shop With HP, Heroku, ForgeRock, Open Source For America, and More!

By Adron Hall on July 29, 2011

Today and yesterday I specifically aimed to meet and interview a number of sponsors and companies attending OSCON. My big quest I’d assigned myself was to determine who was doing what, where, when, and why in the Open Source Community. Of course I wasn’t going to get to every company, but I was going to […]

Git Rid of Windows Azure and Amazon Web Services (AWS) SDKs with .NET + Git + AppHarbor Deployment Revolution

Overloaded to Death, “Cloud” Computing is Dead

Overloaded to Death, “Cloud” Computing is Dead

By Adron Hall on January 31, 2011

I’ve gotten to a point where I won’t argue it anymore.  The word Cloud as defined on Wikipedia “location-independent computing, whereby shared servers provide resources, software, and data to computers and other devices on demand, as with the electricity grid. Cloud computing is a natural evolution of the widespread adoption of virtualization, service-oriented architecture and utility computing. Details are abstracted from […]

Windows Azure and the IaaS Context (or lack thereof)

By Adron Hall on January 10, 2011

Windows Azure has several primary competitors in the IaaS Realm, even though they aren’t technically an IaaS Cloud Provider at all.  Some of these competitors in this space are Amazon Web Services (AWS), Rackspace, GoGrid and VMWare.  Each of these providers offer virtual machines with either Windows or Linux Operating Systems, multiple data centers for […]
