Presentation summary:

With the rise of "the cloud", the JBoss Cloud project aims to make using 
this new infrastructure easy. Come learn about the challenges and 
benefits faced in cloud-based deployments and how the JBoss Cloud 
project addresses them. A live demonstration will show how you can 
easily launch and scale clusters on Amazon EC2 using JBoss Cloud. 
Technologies we'll examine include JBoss AS5, JBoss mod_cluster, 
JGroups, and JBoss Cloud itself.
