SUMMARY:Scalable Internet Architectures
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Theo Schlossnagle (OmniTI). Internet traffic sp
 ikes aren't what they used to be. It is now evident that even the smalle
 st sites can suffer the attention of the global audience. This presentat
 ion dives into techniques to avoid collapse under dire circumstances. Lo
 oking at some real traffic spikes, we'll pinpoint what part of the archi
 tecture is crumbling under the load; then, walk though stop-gaps and com
 plete solutions.

SUMMARY:Infrastructure Automation with Chef
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Adam Jacob (Opscode), Joshua Timberman (Opscode
 , Inc.), Christopher Brown (Opscode), Aaron Peterson (Opscode, Inc.). In
 frastructure is code – the separation between how you manage your infras
 tructure and how you build your applications is disappearing. Adam Jacob
 , CTO of Opscode and primary author of Chef, will teach you what this me
 ans in practice – through showing how to deploy real-world applications 
 with Chef on EC2.

SUMMARY:Cloud Security: It Ain’t All Fluffy and Blue Sky Out There!
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Ward Spangenberg (Zynga Game Network, Inc.). Ta
 king a look at security and privacy in the cloud. We’ll examine the new 
 risks, and what tools can mitigate them. We’ll discuss governance, compl
 iance, and what systems we need to use to access cloud resources securel
 y. We’ll deal with identity, single-sign-on, and so on. The goal is to d
 etermine whether security can be accomplished in the cloud.

 in front of your static images. But that's not all that Web intermediari
 es have to offer -- if you know where to look. Come along for a grab bag
  of techniques, tools and ways to (ab)use HTTP to the best (and occasion

 one practices along this spectrum, establishing a matrix for evaluating 
 deployment process.

DESCRIPTION:Presented by Imad Mouline (Compuware). Many developers wrong

 en they enlist cloud computing services from these and other major cloud
  providers.  But the truth is, developers must do the due diligence and 
 insist on performance guarantees from the cloud provider.

SUMMARY:Hidden Scalability Gotchas in Memcached and Friends
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Neil Gunther (Performance Dynamics Company), Sh
 anti Subramanyam (self.com), Stefan Parvu (Oracle Finland). Much of the 
 FOSS stack used for running webapps e.g., memcached, mysql, rails, has s
 calability limitations that are masked by the widespread adoption of hor
 izontal scaleout. But as traffic growth forces the need for cheaper mult
 icore servers, multithreading scalability becomes a real gotcha. This ta
 lk will show you how to see such issues ahead of time, quantify them, an
 d improve on them.
