Just as people begin to understand the difference between web ops and IT, we are entering a period where clouds promise "Ops-Free" computing. Because it’s easy, scalable, available and disposable, the cloud is well on its way to becoming “technology’s next big thing.” However, with recent outages from Amazon and Google Apps, the question of the cloud’s competence, security and reliability have come into play.

In this session, Hyperic’s CEO, Javier Soltero will address these issues along with the many others surrounding the cloud including:

• The emergence of web operations as a discipline
• How cloud computing simply changes, instead of eliminating the importance of web operations
• What tools are available to help better manage cloud environments?
