DONT MISS THIS SESSION: This is the kick-off session for the Cloud Track on Sunday. There will be 6 Lightning Talks by community members and vendors who will inspire you with innovation and lessons learned from the trenches. Whether you are building your own cloud, building a cloud application or looking for cloud services for your application, you will find these lightning talks educational and full of innovation.

Learn how to create & setup your first Cloud App. We will use Amazon EC2, but the principles are the same for any PHP/MySQL-based Cloud Application running on any IaaS like EC2. You will walk away with the code and workbook to reproduce it yourself in the future.

Unfortunately, this session has been cancelled. I suggest you attend the Open Stack session instead. WAS: Private, public or hybrid — The Cloud.com CloudStack is an open source software product that enables the deployment, management, and configuration of multi-tier and multi-tenant infrastructure cloud services by enterprises and service providers. With a Private Cloud, you can empower your users to be become more agile and efficient in how they consume IT resources.

Make calls, answer the phone, send and receive text messages, and build IM bots, all without any specialized tools or knowledge. If you can build a web site, you can create telephony and messaging applications. Learn what cloud communications is, and how open source, web standards, and cloud APIs come together to allow you to build powerful communications platforms.

Once you deploy your app in the Cloud, your work doesn't stop there. In this session, we will take a simple PHP app and set it up to be managed and scaled in the Cloud. We will use Scalr, an open source framework for managing and scaling LAMP-based apps on EC2.

Want to make your mobile app social? Need to add SMS registration confirmation flows for your mobile app? Want to add Speech-to-text? Attend this session to learn how to go beyond sending a basic SMS or makeing a simple voice call.

The goal of OpenStack is to allow any organization to create and offer cloud computing capabilities using open source software running on standard hardware. OpenStack Compute is software for automatically creating and managing large groups of virtual private servers. OpenStack Storage is software for creating redundant, scalable object storage using clusters of commodity servers to store terabytes or even petabytes of data. Come to this session and find out what you can do with Open Source Cloud Software
