6 mentions of 'cloud' in the intro. 13 from the back cover. This sounds like a buzzword extravaganza rather than anything particularly useful. Has anyone read this that can comment? Is it just re-branded knowledge about distributed systems?
Cloud isn't any more a buzzword than Internet is a buzzword or network or cumputer were buzzwords before that. From what I can see it looks pretty decent, just costs and arm and a leg like most books from Springer. If anything it will likely be quite dry and academic with lots of references.
Would be interesting if it would take less than 40s to load a page.
I think that HN traffic killed it. Kind of ironic, considering the subject of the site.
...or not. It's actually a good example that you can't "cloud" yourself into high availability.
I think they've got a great list of concepts, but I don't believe the hierarchy is particularly useful.
Can't reach or speak for the content, since the site is down, heh.
