Provide us a brief description of how your institution is using the cloud. HOW ARE YOU USING THE CLOUD?
Resources on the Cloud: Blogs • Planet Cloud • an aggregation of blogs talking solely about the cloud • Wisdom of the Clouds • James Urquhart, Market Manager for Cloud Computing and Virtualization, CISCO • Rational Survivability • Christopher Hoff, Director of Cloud and Virtualization Solutions, Data Center Solutions, CISCO • Amazon Web Services Blog • Official blog for Amazon Web Services • Windows Azure Blog • Official blog for Windows Azure • Elastic Vapor :: Life in the Cloud • Reuven Cohen, Founder and CTO Enomaly Inc. • All Things Distributed • Werner Vogels, CTO Amazon.com
Resources on the Cloud • NIST Definition of the Cloud • The National Institute of Standards and Technology’s definition of the cloud. • Above the Clouds: A Berkeley View of Cloud Computing • A paper on the potential benefits and uses of the cloud • Clouderati Twitter Lists • While Clouderati itself doesn’t tweet about the cloud, it does provide a number of lists of persons that tweet about the cloud. While many of these folks are in the business space, they provide a lot of information about the cloud. • EDUCAUSE Cloud Computing Resources • Resources from education on cloud computing, including publications, presentation, podcasts, etc. • Attend CloudCamp • CloudCamp is an unconference held throughout the world (and even virtually). It’s a great place to go, meet people who are also interested in the cloud, and learn a few new things.
