I guess a better term would have been ‘uninterested’.
The fact that a few people have died to Ebola makes it a novelty.
The fact that 10,000+ people have been killed annually in DUI related offences has jaded the media.
Bruce Schneier has a good essay on this topic - Virginia Tech Lesson: Rare Risks Breed Irrational Responses - https://www.schneier.com/essay...
He sums it up with novelty + dread = overreaction.
Ebola fits that. From a public heath perspective for the US, Ebola is for the most part a non-issue.
Thanks. Will see if the editor can make the change.
If you start a dialogue with a sales rep at AWS, they have a log of diagrams and detailed technical material they will share.
You can also look around at http://aws.amazon.com/document..., as there is a lot of good technical material there.
The use of Netflix on AWS is well documented.
Start here: http://aws.amazon.com/solution...
::::First and foremost, the cloud is not in any way shape or form secure.Any thing you put there is there to share.
It’s as secure as you want to make it.
Many firms that take security seriously use the cloud.
You do have a good point there.
You are correct about my not getting the first sentence right.
With that, don’t let defective sentence stop you from reading a very good book.
:::::Will an experienced admin (20+ years *NIX) that's currently using RackSpace (dedicated and cloud) learn anything from this book? It's so hard to tell from this review.
I think so.
From a hosting and sys admin perspective, it is not a radical difference.
But from a cloud application perspective, there is a lot to learn.
Excellent point.
Lack of standardization is one of the biggest problems facing cloud computing.
It’s inevitable a few standards will eventually emerge. But until then, there’s a lot of uncertainty.
:::entrust their data to some unknown and unmonitored external entity such as the 'cloud'.
Do you really consider Amazon Web Services unknown and unmonitored?
The granularity of what they can report on shows their monitoring capabilities are quite sophisticated.
I think the facts speak for themselves. There are thousands of examples of safe and productive instances of cloud computing,
But there are also tens of thousands of examples of insecure and unproductive instances of cloud computing,
The book doesn’t deal with acceptable use per se, as much of acceptable use is determined by the specific user of the cloud.
As I wrote about “almost any security regulation or standard can be met in the cloud. As none of the regulations and standard dictates where the data must specifically reside”.
So if you define what the with acceptable use is and build that into your cloud policy and contract, that would be acceptable.
That’s a major question and one that every firm needs to address before using the cloud.
There are safeguards you can put in place. You can back-up all cloud data as a start.
There are a lot of articles on the topic. Check this one out as a start: http://spendmatters.com/2013/1...
A search of www.merriam-webster.com returns: the word you've entered isn't in the dictionary. So you are correct, this is not an official English word.
But its de facto use is seen at:

Lookif selfie can be a word, why can’t we let architecting in?
