About The Cloud Computing Village
(image from Wikipedia)
Cloud Computing is an enabling technology that essentially relies on distributed data stores and networks to allow data storage across distributed containers. There are many pros and cons to consider, a world of approaches and uses to discuss. We'll talk about them here in the Cloud Computing Village. Join us!

Orlando Workshop on December 15, 2011
Title: understanding cloud-enabled modular middleware
WSO2 Carbon and Stratos provides a complete middleware platform for Enterprise computing: from on-premise to a full cloud-enabled runtime. In this session we will spend the morning looking at the Carbon platform – including leading ESB, AppServer, Governance Registry and more. In the afternoon we will look at the way this runtime is also available in a multi-tenant scalable, elastic architecture. This session will cover SOA and Cloud middleware, PaaS as well as digging deep into Cloud concepts.
This hands-on workshop provides a real opportunity to understand Carbon, OSGi middleware, PaaS, Stratos, and get going with a Cloud Platform. StratosLive is a complete running platform in the cloud, and participants will be encouraged to set up a tenant using their laptops during the workshop, and will understand how to install and use Stratos in a Private PaaS environment.
Location: Orlando, FL

Bintrail: MySQL Time-Travel Queries Using Indexed Binlogs
Bintrail is a recently introduced layer that brings point-in-time queries and row-history lookups to MySQL, the only major relational database lacking native temporal querying. Using indexed binlogs behind ProxySQL and without modifying MySQL or application code, Bintrail supports querying data as of a past timestamp and reviewing change history, primarily for recovery and audit scenarios.

By Artenisa ChatziouPresentation: The Ironies of A^2 I^2
J. Paul Reed discusses the "ironies of automation" - a 40 years-old concept now amplified by AI. He explains how advanced systems often make the human operator more crucial, not less, while simultaneously degrading the skills needed to intervene. Sharing real-world stories of "AI-fueled" incidents, he shares why over-reliance on AI can double recovery times and how to maintain resilience.
By J. Paul ReedHow Platform Engineering Using Golden Bricks Can Enable Fast and Smooth Delivery
Platform engineering should have a product focus, as developers are customers; they must provide composable, self-service capabilities, golden bricks rather than rigid golden paths, so teams can move quickly while maintaining consistency. Success is measured through adoption, developer experience, and business outcomes such as deployment frequency and change failure rate.
By Ben LindersWith Android CLI, Google is Making the Android Toolchain Agent-Friendly
Google introduced new Android development tools that enable building apps up to 3x faster by using AI agents, including a redesigned Android command-line interface (CLI), structured skills", and an integrated knowledge base. These tools are designed to support agent-driven workflows and are compatible with third-party agents such as Claude Code and Codex, in addition to Google Gemini.
