9. The year of…?

12. But basically…

13. This is all about PEOPLE

14. How did we get here?

15. They brought the
gubbins
Iaas = the new hardware

16. They brought the APIs
and data (aka MBaaS)
APIs - mashups, data, agility

17. They brought the rapid
development
push ‘myapp’ -> running

18. They brought the
business challenge
data -> advantage

19. Characteristics - Expectations
•
vast scale
•
innovation
•
rapid data analysis and iteration
•
agility of delivery (even at scale)

20. Expectation
Enterprise -> people, apps, data

21. How to be those guys?

22. To succeed where those guys have? Platform

25. Rumours of the demise of PaaS are greatly

An important year in software
Hello everybody out
there using minix !
I’m doing a (free)
operating system
(just a hobby,
won’t be big and
professional like
gnu) for 386(486)
AT clones.

29. 21+ years later: Linux has won

30. #P0WN ALL
TEH
GADGETZ !
Linux runs everywhere
(even old versions, on crashy
airline entertainment systems...)

31. It runs on Windows Azure!
Jun 2012, w. Canonical

32. Linux is ubiquitous
(but often invisible)

33. It works.

34. It works here too

35. No single language to
“rule them all”

36. Data gets bigger
(and faster, and needs
analysis, and SCIENCE)

37. Composability is key

38. The 2014 Cloud
Forecast?

39. more developers
building
!
more awesome services
in the OPEN
