AWS Summit 2014 Perth - Breakout 2 The cloud is an incredibly flexible resource with the potential to change the dynamics of project delivery - even for projects that will not run in production in the cloud. Learn how to manage project technical risk and control project dependencies by proving an architecture in the cloud. We will describe how we leveraged Amazon Web Services to solve a range of complicated deployment puzzles to get the approval of the client's infrastructure and security team without waiting for them or depending on them. Drawing on our experience using the cloud to architect a Microsoft Dynamics CRM solution with a fine grained security model federated across seventeen local divisions and integrated with the SAS platform this talk will help you understand the use of cloud services to emulate deployments that are complicated because of network topologies, security requirements, and platform dependencies. Presenter: Ross Kendle, National Competency Lead - Architecture & Bruce Mcdonald, Cloud Evangelist, Ajilon Australia
