Talk synopsis
In an ideal world, every application could be deployed to any cloud. You could compare the SLAs and associated costs at deployment time, make your choice of which cloud services you grab from which vendor, and boom! have your app up and running. However there's nothing ideal in the current cloud market.

As a developer, bringing your legacy and green-field applications to the cloud is a hard job. The pitfalls are numerous and every step of the way you can make a choice that limits your deployment choices. This challenge becomes even more fun when you consider that you may want to change your mind about where your applications are deployed late in development, just before deployment and even while your application is running! Just a Thought
If you want to learn the latest cloud computing technologies, consider taking one of our cloud & grid courses at Skills Matter.
