trends like Utility computing (Paying by the hour, paying by the
Gigabyte usage), Virtualization and Web Services in the Cloud and most
importantly, discuss some of the innovative business models for
Start-Ups and Enterprise companies.

In this session, we will learn about a unique way to build service
oriented architectures (Cloud Architectures) in the cloud and learn
how developers can take advantage of these new technologies to quickly
scale up their infrastructure programmatically without any upfront
heavy infrastructure investment. Often termed as Cloud Computing, we
will see how these technologies are changing the way we do business

Amazon Web Services provides Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2)
that allows requisition of machines on-demand using simple web service
call and paying for computation by the hour. Amazon Simple Storage
Service (Amazon S3) which is infinite storage in the cloud and Amazon
SimpleDB which is the Database in the cloud and how these services can

on AWS that have become profitable businesses and others that are just
simply cool to see.
