Hands on Cloud Storage

About this Presentation

You may have heard about cloud storage offerings such as Amazon S3, OpenStack or Microsoft Azure. While conceptually similar, these offerings have different apis and behaviour that place the “write once
(run|test) anywhere” mantra at risk. The jclouds open source java and clojure library aims to eliminate cloud vendor lock-in, exposing easy to use, portable, and powerful APIs. Bring your laptop, armed with
latest revs of Eclipse, git, and maven, and we'll walk through getting you setup to hack jclouds java or clojure BlobStore applications in a collaborative fashion.

During this workshop, you'll discover the value and key gotchas of cloud storage providers first hand. By the end of this session, you'll be writing testable code that creates and manages containers and
blobs, and understand how cloud storage can fit into your architecture.
