Listen to the podcast:
In this show we discuss cloud computing with Javier Soltero (Twitter: @jsoltero), CEO and co-founder of Hyperic, whose flagship product is Hyperic HQ, an open source application monitoring and management tool.
Show Notes:
- Javier gives us a general backround on Hyperic and specifically its activities in the cloud, which include CloudStatus.com and the Hyperic HQ Amazon Machine Image (AMI).
- Javier reveals some of Hyperic's developments in the works, including a technology that allows easily instrumenting Java, Hadoop and Memcached applications and exposing the data to CollectD.
- We discuss at length Javier's recent blog post The Cloud Dilemma for Developers, in which Javier writes about the fact that in a cloud environment developers are required to address operational issues, such as monitoring and management.
- Javier explains how application monitoring and management requirements are different in cloud computing, and why he believes traditional tools won't cut it in the cloud
- and lots more...
- Companies and products mentioned in this podcast include Mosso, GoGrid, Google App Engine, Heroku, Amazon Web Services, Salesforce.com, GigaSpaces, Cisco and Windows Azure.
The cloud computing solution needed by developers and alluded in the interview has already been addressed by JXInsight which Javier is very much aware of based on analysis of our website access logs.
