Brian Adler - Solutions Architect, RightScale. As a result of assisting many customers with complex multi-tiered deployments across diverse industries and use cases, RightScale Professional Services has amassed a set of best practices for deploying applications in highly available, fault-tolerant environments. These configurations may span multiple zones, regions, and clouds from multiple vendors, or they may simply be designed for portability so they can be readily redeployed from one cloud to another for performance, price, geo-location, or other drivers. This session will cover best practices and tips and tricks for architecting multi-zone and multi-cloud deployments.
