Cloud = Application Enablement + Innovation
• Service-oriented architectures and APIs aren’t new ideas
 Art to building platforms comprised of loosely coupled services
• Its all about the Data, Data Virtualization, & Data Mobility
 Building multi-tiered data architectures that assume scale and unstructured data
• Data Centers and cloud providers become an interconnected and
federated platform of deployable services and containers that are
distributed and loosely coupled
• Open-Source is mainstream, driving innovation, and now is its 4th
generation of tools to tackle scalability, performance, and diagnostics
• Devops is no longer shadow IT, it is the way for application
development, integration, and deployment - Period

– Abstracting application deployment,
health checking, application routing,
and monitoring
– Partnerships and Ecosystem are key
to enabling innovation
– Flexibility
• Test, try, fail, pivot
• BOSH
– Does not work in all providers
– CF is just another app
