New Capabilities Cloud Computing
The document discusses how cloud computing capabilities can be leveraged today. It outlines how cloud computing provides infinite computing power, storage, and networking capacity on demand for a low cost compared to maintaining physical infrastructure. The document then proposes building business directories for multiple languages by automatically summarizing business websites using a configurable crawler and analysis engine running on the cloud. It shows how using 40 cloud instances reduced completion time to just a few days and minutes compared to over 100 days using a single server. The document concludes that cloud computing has enabled a major shift by providing unlimited resources for small teams at a much lower cost and reduced time-to-market compared to maintaining physical infrastructure.

New Capabilities Cloud Computing
- 1. Products on a compute cloud Cloud capability – how we can use it today? Gedas Mitkus [email_address]
- 2. Cloud Computing today Resources compute power storage networking Infinite capacity All you can use on demand Only one requirement credit card starting with $50
- 3. Previous limitations Infrastructure costs Development challenges
- 4. Infrastructure costs today Higher by X times 2, 5, 10 years ago nil Yes Yes System Admin Required On demand pay per hour $0.1/h Notes nil included $9K per year Connectivity $1.5K per month $5K a month + contract lock in $65K total cost 1 rack = 20 servers Cloud Rent Amazon EC2 Rent Buy
- 5. Development challenges on a Cloud Scalability and Quality Communication stack Persistence / Transactional safety Application framework Development tools, environment and process
- 6. Development challenges on a Cloud Then vs. now: dramatic reduction in Development cost Time-to-market 2-3 developers can deliver complex pilot in 6 months Why? Open source is production quality: Axis/CXF, Hibernate, Spring, JUnit / TestNG, Eclipse, Maven, SVN, Amazon AWS, MySQL, Linux, etc Agile Development process - no RUP, no ITIL
- 7. Industry trends – Rise of Agile & Open Source
- 8. Proof of concept in a small team: Product, Technology, Costs, Time-to-Market Goal Build 2 (later more) vertical business directories in 15 languages By automatically summarizing business websites Using a highly configurable crawler and analysis engine running on a cloud
- 9. Rent/Single Server vs. Compute Cloud 40 Instances on Compute Cloud 1 Instance Alternatives Cost Days Mins to execute 1 inventory Inventories $350 No long term fixed & ops costs 3.5 days 139 days 2 min 2 min 100K 100K
- 10. Solution - Product 1. Best images 2. Title 3. Best sentences: Who, What, Where 4. Feature tags 5. Geo Location 6. Other meta data – email, phone, etc
- 12. Solution – Technology (Scope) 65K businesses/websites Websites crawled 6 levels deep 50gb highly structured data set Transactions / records All together ~1M records 250K sentence tags 150K image tags 500K feature tag 800MB DB filled
- 13. Solution – Technology (Cloud) Servers run – 40 (tested on 80) Total days - 8 Compute Hours ~1400 – 59 days on 1 server
- 14. Solution – Costs
- 15. Demo
- 16. Conclusion: Now vs. Then Major shift Unlimited cloud resources for small teams Infrastructure cost – miniscule Reduced Time-to-market Lower Development cost
- 17. Product vs. Revenue models Consumer product Advertising Transaction fees Subscriptions Premium services Enterprise / Business product
