Alexis and the team at CohesiveFT are in the process of setting up a London Cloud Camp meeting. It is (tentatively) scheduled for July 16. It is still in the early day’s of preparation so we don’t have a page on Upcoming yet but you can see that the San Francisco camp is going great guns. Sign up on the registration page if you are interested.

Csaba has even created a logo.
How cool does Duke look there! I bet this has got to be one of the best JUG logos around!

Steve Vinoski talking about reliability (in particular my favourite: Erlang)
To achieve reliability, you have to accept the fact that failure will occur, Once you accept that, then other things fall into place: you need to be able to restart things quickly, and to do that, processes need to be cheap. If something fails, you don’t want it taking everything else with it, so you need to at least minimize, if not eliminate, sharing, which leads you to message passing. You also need monitoring capabilities that can detect failed processes and restart them
Amen to that!

Interesting to see another Google-like piece of infrastructure cloning coming out of Yahoo!. Zookeeper appears to be almost identical to Chubby, Googles distributed lock service.
