Cloud computing case studies with ProfitBricks IaaS

This document discusses the evolution of cloud computing from mainframes in the 1970s to modern cloud platforms. It covers the core models of cloud computing (IaaS, PaaS, SaaS) and shows that cloud adoption among large enterprises has reached critical mass. Analyst reports from 2008-2009 find that early adopters are seeing benefits, and most enterprises will use cloud services over time. The document also discusses workload patterns well-suited to cloud services and reasons for considering a cloud-based approach.

This document discusses how a large telecommunications provider implemented continuous delivery for a cloud deployment. It defines continuous delivery as automating the process of software delivery through techniques like continuous integration, automated testing, and continuous deployment. It then describes the specific components and tools used in the telecom provider's implementation, including adopting agile methodology, integrating rational team concert, automated testing with a REST API, and using SmartCloud Orchestrator for automated builds and deployment.

As cloud usage takes off, data production grows exponentially, content pushes closer to the edge, and end users demand data and applications at all hours from all locations, the ability to seamless interconnect with cloud services becomes more pivotal to Enterprise IT transformation. In this session we will share what interconnection oriented architecture is and the reasons why certain enterprises have chosen this architecture to future proof their IT investments. We will also examine a joint solution with our partner ViewQwest and how to extend it with certain AWS use cases. Vijay Rangarajan, Partner Solutions Architect, Amazon Web Services, APAC Eric M.
