Security in The Cloud

[jackadaniel at gmail.com (Jack Daniel)]

If you are interested in "Cloud" "Security" (both are in quotes
because you can't see me make air quotes around each word), I highly
recommend catching Chris Hoff's presentation, The Frogs Who Desired a
King: A Virtualization & Cloud Computing Fable, at a con near you.
The deck is available on his blog, but without Hoff as "secret decoder
ring" the slides won't mean as much.
