The slides used for Devoxx have changed a lot from the ones we used to use for the past events. The demonstration was also different (no more video conversion demo but instead a Spring dm Server deployment). We will do our best to provide soon a screencast of the demo we did so that you can get an idea of what we did during the BoF.

Thanks for all of you who could come. We had some really interesting discussions after the talk. Devoxx is really a good place where to be in. Lots of interesting talks and really good opportunity for networking. It’s always a pleasure to put a face on a name.

Tomorrow morning is the day for the joint-conference with Amazon Technology Evanglist, Simone Brunozzi, so don’t forget to come for the conference at 9:30am.

Update: the slides have been published!

We are thrilled to be present this year in Antwerp, Belgium for Devoxx. Our talk, Dynamic deployment and scalability for the cloud will be on Monday, 8th at 9:00pm.

We really hope to see you there for one of the biggest Java developers event in Europe.

Here is the abstract of our session:

Cloud Computing providers allow a fantastic way to deploy scalable machine images easily and on demand. However, there is a finer grain of scalability that must be provided, allowing individual application assets to easily scale to meet the demands of a running system. Our session discusses the Elastic Grid, an approach that provides dynamic allocation, management and scalability of applications through the cloud.

Intrinsic to the Elastic Grid are a set of dynamic capabilities and reliance on Policy-based and Quality of Service mechanisms that extend capabilities currently found in available cloud computing technologies

Being able to inject rules & policies into cloud focused infrastructure allows greater automation, scalability and controlled behavior. Ultimately, cloud based deployments can provide advanced capabilities surrounding self-healing, self optimization & self configuration. The Elastic Grid provides an approach using a cloud focused Domain Specific Language to declaratively include behavior as SLA policy declarations.

Discover how to easily deploy your Java applications (but not only!) on the Cloud (especially Amazon EC2) during this BoF with both an introduction to how Elastic Grid ease deployments, a real demo done live and some feedback from real uses cases.

As said previously, I’m going to JavaOne this year for a BoF on Elastic Grid.

I will arrive at San Francisco on April, 30th and leave by May, 13th.

If you’d like to talk to me when I’m there, feel free to drop me an email at jerome DOT bernard AT elastic-grid DOT com.

I would be pleased talking with you about Amazon services, Rio and Jini, or whatever else…
