"Cloud Application Architecture: Rebuilding applications for the cloud"
Speaker: Richard Watson Burton Group

The Cloud promises to bring infinite scalability, unlimited availability, and increased responsiveness. Can applications realize cloud benefits through a simple off-premise server migration? Does Cloud require developers to re-write applications or port applications to proprietary Platform as a Service (PaaS) environments?

This session will detail cloud application architecture patterns, cloud application frameworks, portability and migration strategies, and deployment topology considerations. It will answer the following questions:

• When is an application platform cloudy?
• When is application architecture cloudy?
• When is cloud application architecture an appropriate choice?
• What architecture roadmap should be chosen to make applications cloud ready?
