As I talk about with many people, I tend to see cloud technology are pretty mature at the moment and many people looking to figure out how they apply to their situation &#8211; I call them the &#8220;we&#8217;re not Facebook&#8221; crowd, just normal, &#8220;mainstream&#8221; IT use.<\/p>\n<p>Also, I was in <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.zenoss.com\/2011\/03\/building-the-cloud-with-cisco-redmonk-and-zenoss\/\">a webinar between Zenoss and Cisco last week where we talked about getting up and running with cloud, mostly private cloud<\/a>. It was a nice chance for Zenoss and Cisco to talk about what kind of cloud work they&#8217;re getting involved in. <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.zenoss.com\/2011\/03\/building-the-cloud-with-cisco-redmonk-and-zenoss\/\">Check it out<\/a> if you&#8217;re interested in the topic.<\/p>\n<p>Josh broke the video into two parts, what with my annoying penchant to not be concise:<\/p>\n<h2><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.zenoss.com\/2011\/04\/talking-cloud-with-cote-part-1\/\">Part One<\/a><\/h2>\n<p class=\"youtube video embed\">\n<h2><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.zenoss.com\/2011\/04\/talking-cloud-with-cote-part-2\/\">Part Two<\/a><\/h2>\n<p class=\"youtube video embed\">\n<h2>Notes and Outline<\/h2>\n<p>Here&#8217;s Josh&#8217;s summary of what we talked about:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Pragmatic Cloud Computing\n<\/li>\n<li>Service oriented architecture (SOA) and the hype cycle &#8211; \u201dBig Gigantic Awesomeness\u201d\n<\/li>\n<li>Self-service and automation\n<\/li>\n<li>Price as a Driver\n<\/li>\n<li>The Cloud as an enabler for rapid feedback\n<\/li>\n<li>Starting from the bottom up\n<\/li>\n<li>Self-service services\n<\/li>\n<li>Cloud-bursting capacity\n<\/li>\n<li>The magic of automation (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.redmonk.com\/cote\/2011\/03\/15\/devops-in-action-with-ernest-mueller-it-management-cloud-podcast-085\/\">link to the devops podcast<\/a>)\n<\/li>\n<li>Cultural alignment of application and operations teams<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>As a meta-note, Josh used one of the recent Zi6&#8217;s, I think.
