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

Shifting Platform Development from Projects to Products
A company shifted from project- to product-thinking after their platform outgrew single-team use. The limitations that they felt with their platform were one-off deliveries, lack of product vision, and weak feedback loops. They have moved toward a self-service, API-driven, multi-tenant infrastructure with clearer ownership and better abstractions.
By Ben LindersApple Extends Private Cloud Compute to Google Cloud for the First Time
Apple chose Google Cloud to run Private Cloud Compute outside its own data centers for the first time, using NVIDIA Blackwell GPUs, Intel TDX, and Google's Titan chip. Apple maintains an independent append-only hardware ledger and dual-vendor attestation roots. AWS and Azure are not part of the collaboration.
By Steef-Jan WiggersPresentation: Enhancing Reliability Using Service-Level Prioritized Load Shedding at Netflix
The speakers discuss Netflix’s architecture for surviving extreme traffic spikes. They explain the mechanics of prioritized load shedding embedded in their Envoy sidecar proxy, allowing user-initiated requests to steal capacity from non-critical traffic. They share automated platform strategies for continuous chaos load testing, config generation, and retry storm mitigation.

By Leela KumiliPresentation: Graph RAG: Building Smarter Retrieval Workflows with Knowledge Graphs
Cassie Shum discusses the architectural evolution of GraphRAG and why data foundations are critical for advanced AI workflows. She explains how traditional vector RAG falls short when addressing global context, multi-hop reasoning, and provenance. She shares enterprise strategies for building semantically structured knowledge graphs that shift raw orchestrating logic down to the data layer.
