Eucalyptus!Your personal cloud
Thomas Meeks
What is a cloud?
Abstraction
Abstraction(so awesome)
Platform
PlatformYou really need to stay up? Hope you don’t have all your
servers in one spot...
Whatcha gonna do now, bitch?
Some people are haters

if i hear "cloud computing" or other variant one more time, i'm likely to strangle someone
We must implement our codes to make use of the synergies of the market leaders
to bring value to our TCO by using the cloud.

By using the cloud all of your scalability problems will be solved. Everything.
Slashdotted? No problem. You don’t even need to think about scaling it. Our product
utilizes the cloud. The cloud is god.
SCALE MS PAINT INFINITELY
Just Ignore It
Amazon EC2
~$80 month for a 24/7 server
Start out with two machines
Scale to a few thousand
... Then back down to two
research
load spikes
failover
because it is awesome
what if you can’t use ec2?
regulatory requirements
contract requirements
military secrets
already have a big hardware investment
because YOU can do it better
plop down half a billion dollars worth of hardware and open it to the public?
Easy right?

Set up a PXE boot environment. Plug in your machines, auto-install ubuntu, auto-connect to the cluster. Installing a few racks of hardware just got a lot easier.
