So you have taken the first steps in Cloud Computing by embracing Virtualization. But with Virtualization come a host of issues which we, developers, using the Cloud need to be aware of.
In this session of minimal slides and primarily demos, we will delve into those issues and see how Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) offerings aim to alleviate some of the pain. We will explore one of the free PaaS cloud tools, Appistry's CloudIQ Community Edition, and see how we can use it with virtualization software like VirtualBox, in our development and test cycles. By the end of this session, you will have added another aspect to your enterprise “Cloud in a Box”. Feel free to explore CloudIQ with me during the session.
