Presenting about Cloud Ecosystems at OSGi Community Event 2012

Over the past few months I've been piloting what I started to call an OSGi Cloud Ecosystem. You can see the details on my technical blog <coderthoughts/>. I am coming to the conclusion that OSGi can provide a really interesting basis for a Platform as a Service that can support the fluidity of the cloud, where services migrate from one VM to another and systems can scale up and down as needed, without having to worry about getting swamped by configuring what runs where etc. Your OSGi system is based on a Service Oriented Architecture where your services are implemented and consumed using the widely supported OSGi services programming model. Your system is comprised for multiple cloud VMs each of which may take different roles over time. As the need arises you add or remove cloud VMs that contain some of your OSGi services, migrating services across VMs as needed. However as a consumer you simply use the OSGi Service Registry to find and use your services.

The postings on <coderthoughts/> show a pilot that implements these ideas and I'll be talking more about them (and showing a demo) at the OSGi Community Event 2012 (which is part of EclipseCon Europe 2012) on October 23-25 in Ludwigsburg, Germany.

Hope to see you there!

Submit your OSGi talks!

Two OSGi Conferences are currently accepting presentation submissions, so if you have something interesting, cool or noteworthy to say about OSGi, make sure to submit your stuff!

They are:
  OSGi DevCon London (Feb 23, 2010): http://www.osgi.org/DevConLondon2010
and
  OSGi DevCon at EclipseCon 2010 (March 22-25, 2010): http://www.eclipsecon.org/2010/

So come out and show us all what you are using OSGi for!
