Rav Ahuja, Cloud Computing, Emerging Technologies, and Growth Markets at IBM Information Management Software, led this session at the RightScale User Conference 2010 in Santa Clara. Session Abstract: Development and testing is one of the leading use cases in cloud computing. Even large enterprises with stringent security requirements are using public clouds for developing and testing their applications. IBM and RightScale have partnered to make the process of developing and testing your database applications quick and efficient – and in this session, well demonstrate how. Examples will include spinning up Ruby on Rails and Java-based application stacks with DB2 and WebSphere. Well also demonstrate scaling these systems on the fly, adding high availability and then cloning them.
