Amazon Lambda and the Transition to Cloud2.0

The Lambda service from Amazon, and similar services from Microsoft and Google, signals the arrival of the Actor/CSP model in the cloud. The current Lambda services are the beginning of an evolutionary path that will ultimately replace the VM-based cloud usage model of today. In this talk Jack Mills will give a tutorial on the Lambda usage model, its pricing behavior, some details on the internal infrastructure Amazon uses to implement Lambda, and some prognostications on how Lambda-like services will transform cloud computing in the future.
