Attended a Webinar on How Businesses are using Cloud

I attended an interesting Webinar presented by Simon Elisha earlier.

I've posted some of the general highlights on Twitter @SamiCox, although I think the webinar should have really been titled "How Businesses can use Amazon Web Services as their Cloud Solution", but still there was some general information about what to look for in a cloud solution and I was pleased to have attended.

One question I would have liked to pose (but they ran out of time) was about migrating cloud services between providers, although I expect the answer would be yes between specific platforms for complete images otherwise import/export procedures, but would have been interesting to hear the answer from an Amazon Web Services point of view.

I'm on the look out for more online and preferably offline technology talks/presentations/seminars around Sydney, so please let me know if you hear of any.

Thought I'd post the tweets for the non-twiter-ers among you!
