Session Title:	PetClinic in the Clouds: Scaling a Classic Enterprise Application
Session Abstract:	"Cloud computing" is the hot new buzzword, and it's rapidly causing a revolution in the way applications are deployed and managed by IT organizations. Where applications used to run on a fixed set of resources safely nestled in the company data center, a new breed of applications is breaking free of the constraints of the glass walls and expanding out into the cloud. These cloud applications are able to grow and shrink elastically as application workloads fluctuate, and because the resources live in the cloud, companies pay only for the resources they use, saving money on otherwise idle resources during off-peak periods. Many organizations around the world are turning to cloud computing for their IT needs, utilizing public resources to run their testing and production environments. In this Hands-on Lab, participants will take a popular Web application (the Spring PetClinic sample application) and modify it so that it can be deployed on the Amazon EC2 cloud computing infrastructure. They will be exposed to using the GigaSpaces platform as a service, in-memory data grid concepts, the OpenSpaces framework, cloud computing concepts, and persistence as a service using Sun's MySQL™ database technology.
