Portable Cloud Storage with jclouds

About this Presentation

Key/value stores are the most common storage offerings in the cloud today. While conceptually similar, BlobStores present different programming models and consistency models that must be considered in
application design. After this session, you'll understand these differences, and know how to use jclouds to avoid cloud lock-in and increase testability without restricting access to cloud-specific features.

We'll start by comparing public cloud services like Amazon S3 or Microsoft Azure and private cloud software like OpenStack Swift or Eucalyptus Walrus from a feature and code/API level. We'll then
review java and clojure calls to the open source jclouds BlobStore API, abstracting away these differences. We'll finish with a review of integration patterns in production today you can consider while
designing your cloud architecture.
