Talk at OSSGTP
Last friday I presented Elastic Grid to the local Java Open Source developers group called OSSGTP. The audience of this group usually is made of skilled Java developers working on many famous Java projects, such as Spring, Hibernate, XWiki, eXo Portal, Restlet, jGuard, JCapthcha, etc (sorry, I probably forgot to cite many of them…).
This talk lasted 2 hours and half and was really interesting because of its format: this session was highly interactive and I was asked many questions about AWS and Elastic Grid.
The content of the talk was pretty much the same as the one Dennis and I did at JavaOne, except that I added two other demonstrations illustrating what EG (Elastic Grid) brings to the developers for ease of deployment of JEE applications. The first demonstration illustrated a deployment of XWiki whereas the second one was focused on eXo Portal.
For both demonstrations, I showed how EG is actively monitoring the processes it started when deploying the applications/servers. I simulated some crashes by killing some applications servers and could explain how the application servers were handled.
The feedback I received the day after, such as the blog post from Nicolas Martignole (in French only, sorry…), was really great and I truly thank all the participants.
Many news related to the Elastic Grid project should come soon, so stay tuned :=)
