trying to see into enterprise cloud computingTumblr (3.0; @thecloudgazer)http://cloudgazer.org/<a href="http://blog.scoutapp.com/articles/2009/11/20/partnership-with-rackspace-cloud-computing">Scout Monitoring joins with Rackspace</a>: <p>Now begins the race to add value to basic cloud offerings. I expect to see slicehost, amazon, and rackspace to be doing a lot in this space. Amazon will probably be rolling their own, but rackspace and slicehost will be partnering.</p>http://cloudgazer.org/post/253276972http://cloudgazer.org/post/253276972Sun, 22 Nov 2009 10:37:45 -0800<a href="http://www.rackspacecloud.com/blog/2009/11/18/writing-code-that-scales/">Writing Code that Scales</a>: <p>I like articles for this because although on the face value it’s a writing software for the cloud application it’s really a best practices article on writing good software for horizontally scaling systems in distributed environments … you know or cloud environments.</p>http://cloudgazer.org/post/251209006http://cloudgazer.org/post/251209006Fri, 20 Nov 2009 14:52:30 -0800<a href="http://www.cloudstatus.com/">CloudStatus (beta)</a>: <p>A simple dashboard showing the a dynamic health status of Google and Amazon cloud services and any information on recent outages.</p>http://cloudgazer.org/post/250020398http://cloudgazer.org/post/250020398Thu, 19 Nov 2009 13:53:31 -0800publiclink<a href="http://csrc.nist.gov/groups/SNS/cloud-computing/">The NIST Definition of Cloud Computing </a>: <p>This fundamental starting point for an enterprise cloud computing definition. It identifies charicataristics, service models, and delivery models.
