Abstract: 

You're in IT. You work on cloud. You have two objectives: keeping your colleagues productive, and keeping your organization's data secure. But with your company's occasionally reckless "get-things-done" culture and Rogue IT, your job has gotten tricky at the very least.   Architecting for the cloud isn't just about building apps that run on cloud, it's about adapting your organization to a dramatic change. In this packed talk in which you'll be taking notes non-stop, Scalr founder Sebastian Stadil distills his experience in:

     
  • Picking the right cloud, based on the strengths and weaknesses of EC2, GCE, OpenStack, the quality others, and your app
  • Leveraging the cloud you picked, so you get the ROI that got you here in the first place
  • Facing the deployment and administrative challenges with each
