A Palestra do Jinesh (@jinman) foi muito interessante e visionária, mas mostrou como os recursos de cloud computing já é uma realidade disponível e acessível.
Ele destacou o exemplo da Rede Social de Moda – byMK – que utiliza os serviços da Amazon Web Services.

"O byMK, por exemplo, utiliza atualmente vários serviços de cloud computing, ambos da Amazon. Todo o ambiente de produção está em “máquinas virtuais”. A forma de pagamento é por hora de uso e por uso de banda de rede, com preços bem atrativos."

Neste whitepaper tem uma explicação MUITO BOA do tema da palestra.
"Amazon Web Services é um conjunto de serviços que fornece acesso programático à infraestrutura de computação pronta para ser usada da Amazon. A plataforma de computação robusta que a Amazon criou e refinou com o passar dos anos está agora disponível a todos que possuem acesso à Internet. A Amazon fornece vários serviços da Web, mas esta série focará somente nos serviços de bloco de construção básicos que satisfazem as necessidades principais da maioria dos sistemas: armazenamento, computação, sistema de mensagens e conjuntos de dados.

Achei legal, pois descobri que o site que cria apresentações online – www.animoto.com – utiliza o AWS. Recomendo a todos testarem, pois é um serviço MUITO interessante e que deve consumir muito processamento do servidor.

Archdiocese in Wis. to seek bankruptcy protection
The Archdiocese of Milwaukee said Tuesday it would file for bankruptcy protection because pending sexual-abuse lawsuits could leave it with debts it couldn’t afford. A lawyer who filed many of those lawsuits, however, said he thought the archdiocese was using bankruptcy as a delay tactic to avoid opening its records to public scrutiny.
