Running WebVelocity in the Amazon cloud

by Arden Thomas

Dear ESUG folks; Below are the links to the videos I would have liked to have shown, had I more presentation time. It demonstrates exactly what setup is needed to configure and use this Smalltalk product in the cloud, both for development, and deployment, including load balancing.

I totally agree, ESUS is a *user group*, and the event should be held with that in mind! And believe me, I know that not being there in person is a huge loss.

Re: [Esug-list] Is the live streaming down?

I will be processing and posting the videos soon.

So far everything has been recorded and streamed (yesterday room C sessions with very bad sound, sorry for that).
