These are the slides for my 'Patterns-based approach to the cloud' lightning talk at CloudCamp San Francisco.

We need a better way manage application environments
Setting up meaningful application environments takes too long
Recreating or migrating application environments is too hard
Sharing infrastructure resources limited by the first two problems
Virtualization can help Virtualization eliminates manual
installation steps
Advanced virtualization eliminates some of the configuration/integration steps OVF plays a role here by providing standards-
based mechanisms for passing in activation information
Enhancing virtualization
User customizations
Middleware software
Operating System
Activation Engine
Transforms environment’s
personality based on user/system input
But virtualization is not enough
Middleware application environments often require more than a single VM
In this case, getting a VM fast only gets you so far
You still retain responsibility for orchestration of inter-VM configuration
Patterns bridge the gap
Patterns bring value Patterns (templates, assemblies, etc.) build
on virtual images to provide a complete representation of your environment
Patterns are deployable units
Patterns encapsulate and automate installation, configuration, and integration
