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
Date: December 15, 2011

AI Agent Identity and Permission Challenges: How Uber and Auth0 Are Rethinking Access Control
Uber recently described an internal architecture for propagating identity across multi-agent AI workflows. The design aims to perserve user context, agent provenance, and scoped access as agents delegate work and call internal tools. The case study aligns with Auth0’s view that AI agents need permissions based on delegated authority, scoped credentials, and explicit human approval boundaries.
By Eran StillerPresentation: From Hype to Strong Foundations: What the Rise, Fall and Resurgence of Agents Can Teach Us About Outlasting the Cycle
Aditya Kumarakrishnan explains how to move past the "amnesia phase" of AI. He shares a blueprint for engineering leaders to build modular agent frameworks using CoALA, leverage decades of process science for scalable workflows, and "terraform" legacy environments into robust, event-sourced artifacts capable of handling unpredictable, cross-functional agent demands.
By Aditya KumarakrishnanGitHub Copilot Desktop App Targets Parallel Agentic Workflows
GitHub has introduced the GitHub Copilot app, a desktop control centre for agent-native development that aims to keep engineers in charge while AI agents handle more coding work. Mario Rodriguez writes on the GitHub blog that the recent wave of coding agents has brought faster delivery but also "disjointed workflows, more context switching, and too much time spent reviewing agent-generated code".

Paul Klein discusses the distributed systems challenges of scaling cloud-hosted browser infra for AI agents. He explains how to manage bursty, stateful multi-tenancy and secure Chromium environments against remote code execution using Firecracker. He also shares how to leverage the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to turn complex websites into accessible agentic tools.
