Cloudinomicon :: Idempotent Infrastructure, Survivable Systems & Bringing Back Information Centricity
v1.7 2 Key Takeaways
+ Not All Public Cloud IaaS Offerings Are Created Equal or for the same reasons.
+ Differentiation Based Upon Networking, Security, Transparency/Visibility & Forensics. TRUST.
+ Apps In Public IaaS Clouds Can Most Definitely Be Deployed As Securely Or Even More Securely Than Those In An Enterprise...
+ ...However, They Require Profound Architectural, Operational, Technology, Security and Compliance Model Changes
+ Time To Get The Bell Bottoms Out Of The Closet: What’s Old Is New Again... Blame The French:: Siege Warfare & the Trebuchet... Technically Blame the 4 Greeks & Romans...
+ Introduced in ~12th century by the French who bettered the design elements of the catapult & ballista
+ The trebuchet utilized a sling to double the power of the engine and throw its projectile twice as far
+ Catapults were efficient mechanisms for lobbing loads of 50-60 pounds
+ Trebuchets could throw stones of up to 300 pounds and at great distance A Better Mousetrap But A More Complex Operational Model
+ The sling trebuchet was a marriage of previous catapult design, application of better physics & advanced physical science.
+ It works on a simple principle, but there was nothing simple about making sure a sling trebuchet was built or operated with precision...* *http://www.medieval-castle-siege-weapons.com/sling-trebuchet.html 6 WTF Does That Have To Do With Cloud?
+ Evolutionary application of revolutionary ideas*
+ Caused quite a stir and a wholesale shift in strategy
+ Laid the foundation for even more ass-kicking innovation
+ Automation, FTW!
* Gravity. Who Knew? Shifts In Thinking: IT Infrastructure Evolves + Consolidating From Servers To Pooled Resources Of Compute + Network & Storage Moving From Dedicated Switches & Local Disk To Clusters And Fabrics, Implemented In Both Hardware And Software + Escaping From Tightly-Coupled Hardware/Software Affinity To Distributed Computing Enabled By Virtualization + Transitioning From Infrastructure To Composeable Service Layers Our Focus In 8 Contrast
