In building the PHP Fog system I discovered some things about what it takes to get reliability and scalability from a PHP app on Amazon AWS. In this talk I want to take you through:

Basics – what a Public cloud (AWS, Rackspace Cloud, Linode etc) is and what the different options imply for the PHP programmer.

Code Structure – A cloud is different from dedicated hosting. Embrace the differences and design for them for best performance

Databases and Strategy – Everyone says it is hard and can’t be done. It can and there are some simple strategies to get there.

Scalability and Failover – How to take advantage of the cloud. I will show you the hard way and the easy way.

The aim of the session is to cast away any myths and to fully brief the intermediate programmer on what is needed to optimize a PHP application for the Cloud

This will be a short punchy talk with practical takeaways for the PHP Programmer / Dev Ops person attending OSCON. Bring a notepad!

People planning to attend this session also want to see:

Is there any way to get your Oscon 2011 presentation slides?

Thank you

Rather than what the abstract promised, an overview of cloud based challenges and solutions, this was a bog standard rundown of basic website scaling techniques. There was little truly php specific content and basically no cloud platform discussion.
