Coté's People Over Process

• Fuzzy logic for distributed systems troubleshooting
  Information wants to be free, but the IEEE doesn't want it to be ;)
• Green energy sector sees record patents
• kut : Item | The Key to Happiness
  This is one of my favorites.
• The fear of the blank problem record
  I like how this guy is always emphasizing getting exec/management buy-in so you can get budget and time. Without leadership, all the best practices in the world will be wasted cause no one will care…to do them.

• Amazon Web Services Blog: Introducing Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (VPC)
  "Imagine the many ways that you can now combine your existing on-premise static resources with dynamic resources from the Amazon VPC. You can expand your corporate network on a permanent or temporary basis. You can get resources for short-term experiments and then leave the instances running if the experiment succeeds. You can establish instances for use as part of a DR (Disaster Recovery) effort. You can even test new applications, systems, and middleware components without disturbing your existing versions."
• Seamlessly Extending the Data Center – Introducing Amazon Virtual Private Cloud – All Things Distributed
  Aside from the announcement of an isolated, VPN-able sub-cloud, some cloud philosophy from Amazon: (1.) "Private Cloud is not the Cloud," (2.) "elasticity" encompasses scaling up, but also quick provisioning, (3.) the cloud does well at "delivering differentiating business value," which is all that "business/IT alignment" talk we've been aspiring to forever, (4.) (on-premise) virtualization is a distraction from (public) cloud acceptance.
