Software as a Service (SaaS) is a way to deliver software and services on-demand from the web and by subscription rather than a one-time upfront cost. SaaS is truly changing the way people access services and software, and is rapidly moving software applications completely online. At the same time, the complex server infrastructure needed to support SaaS is beginning to move to the Cloud. This session will discuss how SaaS allows for environments to be created, managed and deployed with minimal effort and time, and how new cloud computing offerings can improve deliverability capabilities, scalability and better match the SaaS subscription model with utility-based billing for hosting infrastructure.

This applies to an enterprise trying to cut-costs, a young business unexpectedly saturated with customer demand, or a start-up looking to launch.
There are many challenges when building a reliable, flexible architecture that can manage unpredictable behaviors of today's internet business. This presentation will review some of the lessons learned from building one of the world's largest distributed systems; Amazon.com.
