The seminar looks exciting. For those of you who can’t wait or make it – I found a 10 min video with David Chappell on this topic where he covers others issues such as:
– IaaS vs PaaS
– Private vs Public Cloud
– Applications that are not a great fit for the Cloud and those which are.
– The threat of Public Cloud to IT departments
