As I discussed in my introductory post, this blog is primarily focused on the people-side decision-making of Cloud Computing. But considering that Cloud Computing is fundamentally a way of using technology, and technologists must be part of any discussion (vendor selection, technology selection, operational models, etc.), I wanted to make reference to several resource that I use on a regular basis to stay updated on the technologies that make up Cloud. There are obviously make more out there, but I find that these give me a fairly robust picture of the topics and trends around Cloud Computing.
