Cloud computing technology and innovations are making elastic, dynamically scalable infrastructure resources accessible to a wide range of organizations. In order to leverage cloud platforms when building shared services and applying service-orientation, an understanding is required of how and where the convergence of cloud computing and SOA exists. This provides us with clear criteria for what constitutes a cloud-based service-oriented solution, while also identifying where gaps and weaknesses within cloud computing currently still lie. In this session, best-selling author Thomas Erl establishes the connection points between cloud computing and service-orientation by providing a concrete mapping between Service-Oriented Computing Goals and Cloud Computing Goals, SOA Characteristics and Cloud Characteristics, Service-Orientation Principles and Cloud Mechanisms, as well as SOA Types and Cloud Deployment Models.
