Cloud Computing - 44 Years On
By Dr Chris P. Jobling
Simon Wardley introduces cloud computing with an interesting history lesson on the commodization of technology. Includes an introduction to the OSCON 2010 Cloud Computing Summit. Memorable quote:
the only [service providers] who call their customers “users” are drug dealers and software vendors.
Update: Simon has posted his own introduction to the Summit in Arguably, the best cloud conference in the world?, Bits or Pieces.
