Overview:
Cloud computing presents development teams with challenges that may require them to rethink established ways of building applications. One school of thought maintains that the best bet is to upload applications as they are to the cloud, doing as little rework as possible. Another school contends that applications should be radically re-cast if they are to fully exploit cloud architecture.

Read the second chapter of the Cloud Computing E-Book and learn what developers should consider before moving applications to the cloud and to what extent they will have to re-think familiar go-to languages to make apps work in the cloud. Software architectures will be reviewed in terms of memory: how development teams allot processes in memory, how they call to relational databases and whether they should use relational databases at all.
