Enterprise Grade Cloud Applications

Started explaining what enterprise is. Described a company like RHI.




Describes first software as a service purchase in very big Corp.




CIO mind
Integration
- security
- application
- operational




Example where company using a cloud application with email and password has a fired employee that still has access to software.

Solution is to have an intermediator that authenticated user against clients own credentials. They created identity federation and access control claims.




Doing a demo of authentication.
Showing example of using access control service.
We will need to learn this service.




Showed security definition page above.

Looks like the application was given the ability to define groups on clients active directory. The app was a facade on top of access control service.
This service would be the foundationof our new security system.

Showed a smart client app (slide below) that works with the cloud an the cloud calls back to the client companys servers to authenticate the user.

We will need to have our clients buy geneva amd install on premises for single sign on.

Actually we can build our own security framework.






Now covering management integration.
Interesting that he is showing amazon web services as the example of solution that does not fully solve the problem.






2nd set of demos.
Showed a management console snap-in. Pretty sweet! The user administration experience looks and feels so much like the app is on premise.






Last piece is about application integration.



Because things like the database are poles down, work arounds are more difficult for the client of the application. I think that is good for us, however, it is good to have a fully fledged API.




Enter the Seeeervice Buuussss.

Showed a demo where a task entered into issue tracker created an entry into an on premise AS400.
