While public cloud computing continues to mature as a technology, those in charge of public cloud solutions within enterprises adopt the technology at their own pace, and for their own reasons. Indeed, they are all on separate journeys, but with many of the same business objectives. In order to determine the progress of enterprises’ journey to the public cloud, Gigaom created a survey designed to understanding what is happening within enterprises that are adopting public cloud computing. Key items discovered in this survey include: 1. The use of public cloud computing is quickly expanding, and most organizations already exploit public cloud-based resources to run both critical and non-critical business systems. 2. Application development and testing are among the highest value uses of leveraging the public cloud, and most enterprises have moved from proof of concept to actual deployments in the last few years. 3. A larger number of business units leverage public cloud resources that are made up largely of AWS and a few other public cloud providers. 4. A surprising number of public cloud instances support the daily operations of many businesses, with a smaller percentage emerging as heavy users that leverage a massive amount of public cloud resources. 5. First cloud projects are a thing of the past, with most working on their second, third, or more major cloud deployments. 6. Change management and cloud governance are becoming more commonplace and accepted by enterprises. In this lunchtime keynote presentation, David Linthicum provides a look at what’s occurring right now as enterprises move to public clouds using real data from real adopters. What’s more, Linthicum will provide predictions around what is likely to occur in the world of cloud computing in 2015 and 2016, as well as recommendations around how you can exploit changes and growth of cloud-based platforms to your own best advantage.

In this session we’ll look at what cloud computing is, and what it should be. The way it’s defined today, and how should be defined tomorrow. We’ll focus on the emerging patterns of cloud computing, including changing business value and new patterns of cloud computing technology that are emerging.

The document discusses hybrid cloud architectures and approaches for connecting private and public clouds. It presents several current patterns for primitive hybrid architectures including migration and interface abstraction. Emerging patterns described include static placement, assisted replication, auto migration, and dynamic migration. The document argues that cloud abstraction is needed to define common information, services, processes, map to proper architectures, and select technology solutions to fully realize the benefits of hybrid cloud environments.

Most cloud-based systems lack proper architecture which can lead to issues like inefficient resource usage, outages, and security problems. When designing cloud architecture, common mistakes include not understanding scalability, tenant management, security, and proper service usage. Effective cloud architecture depends on the specific problems and should leverage best practices like multitenancy, isolation, and flexibility. The document provides guidelines for cloud architecture like focusing on core services, distributed and centralized control, and designing for security and governance throughout the system.

The document discusses new approaches to integration in a cloud computing world. It outlines the evolution of core integration patterns from 1997 to 2011 as data, services, and processes have become more fragmented with the shift to cloud. It emphasizes that integration and the cloud have often been an afterthought, and that successful integration in the cloud starts with understanding business needs, existing systems, and data semantics. It also addresses some of the key technical challenges around semantic mediation, transformation, governance, discovery, and connectivity when extending systems and services to the cloud.

The document is a presentation by David S. Linthicum on the future of cloud computing. It discusses how cloud computing has evolved from centralized data centers and timesharing models to today's cloud services. It outlines emerging trends like the focus on big data and how cloud models like SaaS, PaaS, and IaaS are morphing. The presentation predicts that in the future, cloud computing will be fully absorbed into IT, security will rely more on centralized trust models, and mobile devices and home clouds will be important areas for applications.
