The True Foundation on IaaS

What?? IaaS isn't just a marketing positioning statement??

I thought this article was excellent at presenting some of the more technical aspects of IaaS rather than benefits/features etc. It underlined for me the change needed in design and management to deliver a true cloud infrastructure.

Building a Real-World IaaS Cloud Foundation
— I recently gave a talk at the Cloud Computing Expo in New York about where to begin if you’re building a cloud infrastructure or “Infrastructure-as-a-Service.” The response was great, so I’ll try to summarize the high points here for others who are interested. Whenever we see a “stack diagram” of cloud architectures, most conversation centers on higher-level layers like defining what “Platform-as-a-Service” or “Software-as-a-Service” is.
