2. How standards in cloud computing will change the way your app is setup
3. Future developments in Cloud hosting and computing that you should be aware of

  Why are there no shots of the slides from 11 minutes to nearly 15?? Can the slides be put online with the narrative?

  Hi Mark,

  Apologies for this. I’m afraid this is the best we could do for this talk. Sorry! :(

  Best,
  Ryan

  I don’t mind the lack of slides but the camera operator really needs to find the control that zooms out. Its annoying enough when a speaker wanders back and forth like a caged animal but even more so when the camera operator decides to follow him.

  To quote Simon: “It’s highly disruptive”

  No worries Ryan, still an enjoyable talk – just wished I could see how he’s illustrating his slides on the interoperability and transparency sections – purely so I can copy it if I have to convey similar concepts with some of my speakers in the future. A great selection slides I must say – clear and concise.

  Thanks,Simon, summary is spot on. There are many similarities in terms of the benifits between cloud and Virtualization including elasticity & flexibility.
