Wesley Beary: Cloud computing scared the crap out of me - the quirks and nightmares
of provisioning computing and storage on AWS, Terremark, Rackspace,
etc - until I took the bull by the horns. Let me now show you how I
tamed that bull.

your infrastructure choices, you can make better choices in
development and get what you need in production.

You'll get an overview of fog and concrete examples to give you a head
start on your own provisioning workflow.
