Summary of CloudCamp Delhi (from Prem Sankar at CloudVarsity)
CloudCamp India Tour kicked off on the 20th Feb 2010 with New Delhi, the capital city of India. The venue was carefully selected to be accessible from all corners of the National Capital Region. Sure enough, with the help of Prof. Sorav Bansal and Gaurav Bhatnagar (CEO, Mediology Software), the Bharti Building at IIT-Delhi was selected as the venue. The lead organizer Manish Dhingra (Founder and COO of Tekriti Software) did a fantastic job in lining up speakers from Amazon Web Services, Microsoft, Salesforce and Slideshare as part of the conference. Prof. Sorav Bansal drew on his experience and research done on Virtualization during his PhD at Stanford University, to kick start the proceedings with a great talk on the topic.
With the strong grounding set on Virtualization, the audience, an interesting mix of students and professionals started participating in the Unpanel. Led by Dave Nielsen, the Unpanel got so interesting that Simone Brunozzi, Technology Evangelist with AWS decided to skip his session and take on the Unpanel questions as below:
Unpanel Questions from Delhi:
- How to move our existing apps onto the cloud?
- How can a cloud provision 10K new servers?
- How does software licensing work?
- How to achieve dynamic and scalable data storage?
- How secure is a cloud network?
- How fast can we recover a server that Crashed in cloud?
- What is the breakeven point for moving an app to the cloud?
- How can P2P cloud work?
- How is versioning handled in the cloud?
- Has cloud overtaken Grid?
- Where does cloud configuration take place and how?
