Overcast: Conversations on Cloud Computing #2

Geva and I completed the second of our series of podcasts on Tuesday. This is a shortened conversation, as we only had a few days between recording numbers 1 and 2, but it covers some key announcements that were made in that time. Specifically, the show covers:
  • Salesforce.com's Force.com Sites and the new relationship between Salesforce and Amazon Web Services. I wrote about this earlier.
  • The announcement of cooperation between RightScale and the open source EUCALYPTUS project from the University of California Santa Barbara. You can read more about this on Geva's blog here and here.
  • Also mentions of CohesiveFT, Elastra, Google App Engine, Microsoft and more...
