Let’s discover the new application design guidelines to succeed on the Cloud. We will not only cover the glamorous new concepts for scalability, high availability and new keys to productivity but also the new security constraints, legal challenges, costs models or reversibility rules. Session explanation Cloud is everywhere: It is no longer used exclusively by famous startups or elite teams such as DropBox or NetFlix. Brick and mortars businesses such as newspapers and even banks now use Cloud Computing! However, these success stories did not happen by chance. Having infinite resources, servers, memory or storage is not a silver bullet. Let's discover the new application design guidelines to succeed on the Cloud. We will not only cover the glamorous new concepts for scalability, high availability and new keys to productivity but also the new security constraints, legal challenges, costs models or reversibility rules.

Shared file system is difficult
•
Best practice for any automated deployment
•
Think multi instance
Local file system: ephemeral near-cache or replica
