Velocity Culture

Jon Jenkins is a former Amazonian. His talk at Velocity 2011 was great.

My argument today is going to proceed in kind of three parts:

• The success of Velocity culture depends on linking it to the business
• Web performance has succeeded in doing this, ops less so
• Ops needs to focus on closing this gap

He talked about Amazon’s capacity optimization and deployment process. And both cases use Amazon Web Services. However I think the talk was more than “Move to the Cloud”.
