How the Cloud is changing the world

In October 2013 I stopped by Lancaster University's Highwire program to give a seminar on the Cloud and industry disruptions.

Abstract:
Everyone is talking about The Cloud. From disrupting the way we do business to the way we live our lives, it has undoubtedly shifted the way we think about computing, IT operations, innovation, and entrepreneurship. But how should we think about it and why has it brought a paradigm change? What specific technologies can we leverage to improve our lives and how will the next iteration of cloud-based systems look like?

In this seminar, I will introduce you to cloud computing’s history and discuss its applications with practical examples from Engine Yard’s customers, peers, and partners.
