Deploying to the Cloud

There is a lot of confusion on where to deploy your application. Physical Server? Virtual Server? Cloud?
Cloud computing is hot, but different apps have different requirements, and different environments offer different benefits.
We will discuss the pros and cons of all solutions available to developers today. Uptime, costs, regulatory issues, security . . . no topic is off topic. We’ll discuss Amazon EC2, Azure, Google App Engine, VMware, Hyper-V, Physical Servers and anything else that comes up.


Steve Evans is an IT Pro with over 10 years of experience. He is a Microsoft MVP in Directory Services, a MCSE, and an accomplished speaker.
He publishes a technical blog at http://serktools.com and you can follow him on the twitter username @scevans.
Steve’s company, SerkTools, specializes in working with software development companies to serve their IT infrastructure needs.
