Slides from TechEd 2009
Thursday, May 14, 2009 12:30 PM
Today is my last day at TechEd 2009 in LA, and as promised, I’ve uploaded the presentations from the three talks that I’ve given this week. Thanks again to everyone that attended my talks, and I really enjoyed speaking with many of you after the presentations.
PRC02 – Demystifying the Cloud
This is the presentation that I gave as part of the architecture preconference on Sunday 10th. It’s a high level look at cloud computing and covers the definition of running applications on premise, in a hosted environment, and in the cloud, together with many of the considerations for doing so.

ISB204 – Impact of the Cloud for IT Managers
This presentation was delivered on Monday at 4.30pm and covers much of the pre-conference material from PRC02, but through the eyes of an IT Manager. When I was putting the decks together I realized that there were many common concerns shared between the IT Manager (from an operations perspective) and the IT Architect (from a design perspective), in which I try to surface in this deck.

ARC308 – Patterns for Moving to the Cloud
This is my presentation from Tuesday at 8.30am that covered a series of patterns for moving to the cloud. In this presentation I look at the differences between on premise, hosted, and the cloud, describe some applications that you may find running on premise in a large organization, and then cover five patterns for running these applications in the cloud. The patterns I cover are: Transference – moving applications from on premise to the cloud, Scalable Web / Multi Tenancy – cloud application that can scale on the web front end, Burst Compute – cloud applications that have the ability to dial up / dial down compute resources as necessary, Elastic Storage – looking at how the cloud can provide for storage that can grow on demand, and Inter-Org Communications – sharing how part of the cloud can be used to connect multiple organizations through a service bus and workflow.
As you can imagine, with the space being so new, these are not a definitive or exhaustive list of all patterns for cloud computing, but I hope they were useful in introducing the different types of applications running in the cloud.

I believe two of the three sessions (ISB204 and ARC308) were also recorded and will be online soon. Once I get hold of them, I’ll update with the link.
