EPHEM·ER·AL·I·ZA·TION (in our world and in the ☁️)
EPHEM·ER·AL adjective or noun \i-ˈfem-rəl, -ˈfēm-; -ˈfe-mə-, -ˈfē-\ lasting or
existing only for a very short time

"do more and more with less and less, until eventually,
you can do everything with nothing."
EPHEMERALIZATION!
nothing?

but it runs on smaller parts, on IaaS, not on
a supercomputer
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Datei:IBM_Blue_Gene_P_supercomputer.jpg
on IaaS, the components are still visible, and resilience must
be dealt with
PLATFORMS-AS-A-SERVICE more with less, once again
Ephemeralization is about minimal visibility of components, which should be
as simple as possible, and which should be as resilient as possible.
Bucky called this the "kit of parts".
PaaS lets you plug components together (and you don't have
to manage them yourself)
$ heroku create $ $ heroku addons:add heroku-‐postgresql
$ heroku addons:add mongohq $ heroku addons:add redistogo $ $ heroku addons:add cloudamqp $ $ heroku addons:add newrelic $ $ heroku addons:add gemfury:hello $ $ git push heroku master
you just did more with less, almost like magic
except it's not magic - you just can't see the
parts anymore!
you use them and your app becomes portable and reusable
and so, step by step, does all the infrastructure underneath

"There is one outstandingly important fact about Spaceship Earth, and
that is that no instruction book came with it."
