Developers have developed applications for IaaS (Amazon AWS, Rackspace, etc) and PaaS (Azure, Google App Engine, Cloud Foundry) Cloud platforms. These platforms provide basic security features including support for authentication, DoS attack mitigation, firewall policy management, logging, basic user and profile management but security concerns continue to be the number …
You might like to know more about the impact of other architecture styles and trends on SOA. This article explains why SOA is a good fit for cloud-based deployments and how the cloud affects SOA. Dividing business capabilities into autonomous components fits well both gradual transitioning to public clouds and …
Learn how to approach architecture for cloud applications. Modern applications should be designed with a “Cloud First” mentality. Rather than just “move stuff” to the cloud, architects should be designing software that is autonomous, asynchronous, stateless, and based on standards.
From the perspective of Enterprise Shared Services, the definition of the Cloud as a standard three-layered service model (IaaS, PaaS, SaaS) to describe cloud computing, with each layer defined in terms of the operational control capabilities it offers to its consumers, is not optimal. Shared services have unique characteristics around …
CQRS architecture approaches are an emerging trend for building distributed systems in .NET. They bring together multiple time-proven patterns and practices of delivering scalable solutions with rich business value. CQRS is also a natural fit for cloud computing projects, where it provides clear design baseline and allows reducing development and …
The Cloud offers the ability to launch server instances, support increasing traffic, create load balancer instances, and provision TB of storage in seconds. This blog post discusses architectural issues that you should consider when diving into cloud system implementation.
Using an open and simple API is a great way to build a developer ecosystem and grow a user base dramatically for Web 2.x (social/cloud/mobile) applications. But building flexible APIs can be a challenge. This session covers how to build a nice Web API from scratch, using open source stacks.
This video presents the infrastructure devices (servers, network, storage, L4-7 services) that are used to build Cloud Computing services.
