- 2. Why cloud?“The Cloud” is hosting with an APIProgrammers Like APIs!Reliable, Reusable Start StatesOn DemandUsage-based Pricing
- 3. Where to begin? With Pantheon!Stand on the Shoulders of GiantsVarnishApache HTTPDAPC CacheApache SolrMySQLBest in class, stable technologyhttp://launchpad.net/pantheonPantheon
- 4. Anonymous Love of VarnishHow much of your traffic is unauthenticated?Why would you want to build the page each time?Big spikes are typically unauthenticated..When @aplusk tweets your site you’ll see this firstHaving Varnish will give you time to react if tons of new people start registering..
- 5. APC is the Way for MeAPC = speed for site rendering....memcached = scale for your database.Source: http://www.mysqlperformanceblog.com/2006/08/09/cache-performance-comparison/
- 6. Solr Power Keeps Us WarmFaster and better....you can have your cake and eat it too!You’ll see a huge difference if search is.. ..a big part of your site load...a source of latency...a cause user frustration.See more: http://drupal.org/project/apachesolr

- 14. Open 4 Times, Not Just OnceOpen Source: We are committed to creating truly open source software that is usable and scalable. Truly open source software is not feature or performance limited and is not crippledlicensed under Apache 2.0.
- 15. Open Design: Every 6 months the development community will hold a design summit to gather requirements and write specifications for the upcoming release.
- 16. Open Development: We will maintain a publicly available source code repository through the entire development process. This will be hosted on Launchpad, the same community used by 100s of projects including the Ubuntu Linux distribution.
- 17. Open Community: Our core goal is to produce a healthy, vibrant development and user community. Most decisions will be made using a lazy consensus model. All processes will be documented, open and transparent.Current Infrastructure ProjectsOpenStack ComputeREST-based APIHardware agnostic - commodity hardware, RAID not requiredHypervisor agnostic - support for Xen and KVM in initial releaseHorizontally scalableAsynchronous eventually consistent communicationOpenStack Object StorageObject store, Distributed, REST-based API, No central databaseHardware agnostic - commodity hardware, RAID not requiredAccount/Container/Object structure (not file system, no nesting)Replication (N copies of accounts, containers, objects)Data distributed evenly throughout systemScalable to multiple petabytes, billions of objects
