Arun Gupta presented on running Java EE 6 applications in the cloud. He discussed Java EE 6 support on various cloud platforms including Amazon, RightScale, Elastra, and Joyent. He also compared features of different cloud vendors and how Java EE can evolve to better support cloud computing. Gupta concluded that Java EE 6 applications can easily be deployed to various clouds and GlassFish provides a feature-rich implementation of Java EE 6.
