Krish's Selections From the Web

Today we are announcing two new preview features: App Engine Java 7 runtime support and Google Cloud Endpoints.   Preview features are ‘experimental’ features on a path towards general availability. The App Engine Java 7 runtime allows App Engine developers to keep pace with innovations in the Java language and runtime. It is important that you begin testing your applications with the new Java 7 runtime before the complete rollout in a few months.invokedynamic support, which allows developers, tools providers, and language implementations to take advantage of a new bytecode, invokedynamic, which enables developers, tools providers, and language

Anuta Networks, a Silicon Valley-based self-proclaimed "network services virtualization" startup, is entering the market with its inaugural offering, the Anuta nCloudX Platform. The solution essentially provides network service abstraction and orchestration for cloud service providers and large enterprises engaged in the implementation of private clouds. The breakthrough Anuta Networks nCloudX platform simplifies and automates the complete lifecycle of network services in complex, heterogeneous networks across multi-vendor, multi-device, multi-protocol, and multi-hypervisor offerings for physical and virtual devices in both private cloud and

Open ... and Shut Just when you thought it was safe to go back into the water, the thought police are back. For years, the open source community was torn apart by fractious debates over what "open" meant and who was open enough. As we've moved beyond name calling to focus on getting work done, the same old debate has shifted to cloud computing, with a new crop of pundits and evangelists wrangling over who is the cloudiest of them all.For some, the answer may be "No." Flexiant founder, Tony Lucas, for example, took to the stage at Structure this week and denounced "cloud washing" and demanded that it be stopped. This follows Appirio calling out

Six year old Olivia explores the benefits of Cloud Computing with some stern notes on password security as an added bonus

It’s no secret enterprises are using both private and public cloud.  In fact, if you’re not, it’s hurting your business and IT organization because your competition is.  In Forrester’s 2011 ForrSights Hardware Survey, 12% of respondents indicated that they had fully deployed private clouds, and 24% indicated that their business is using public cloud services.  The real question today is, how mature are you in your overall cloud computing strategy? And are you holding back your company’s use of public cloud to get them to use your private cloud.

Finally, let's say a small private cloud storage implementation, wanted to reduce dev ops commitment by increasing the replication factor to 4, the numbers are as follows:

Last week at OSCON (CloudAve Coverage), OpenStack project (previous CloudAve coverage) celebrated its second birthday with much fanfare. Even though I missed the OpenStack day at the conference, I did get a chance to talk to OpenStack team, developers, practitioners, well wishers, etc. during the event. I think it is time to do a reality check on the project and, for a moment, I am taking out my open source evangelist hat. Before I talk about the good, the bad and the ugly, I want to wish a very happy birthday to OpenStack and I also hope

Sun Microsystems’ slogan, “Write once, run anywhere,” (WORA) was hot stuff in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Today, a new technology wave is forming, “Deploy once, scale anywhere,” or DOSA. So why should we care about WORA now? By understanding the evolution of Java and the emergence of WORA, we may discover insights into how the various cloud computing paradigms will evolve in the coming years.

As an enterprise architect with multiple large Java and cloud deployments, I have been intimately involved in both technology waves. Based on this experience,

Announcing New Windows Azure Services to Deliver “Hybrid Cloud”

“Hybrid cloud” – the use and building of applications that connect to data and services across a mix of datacenters – is the reality for cloud computing today. Your businesses and applications will move to the cloud in their own unique way, at their own unique speed.  Supporting this change requires a cloud solution that provides the necessary flexibility for the different ways you will architect, develop and deploy your applications

Our goal at Intel was to let software developers get an innovative idea into production in less than a day.

One of the large aspects of meeting this goal is delivering a robust PaaS solution. We made a decision in mid-2011 that PaaS would enable this goal, and for our wide range of data and security requirements, running it in our private cloud was paramount. In searching for a PaaS solution for our Enterprise Private
