Mr Smith, Information System manager at ACME Incorporated notices that 80% of his engines are not production engines. Information system management has indeed initiated means devoted to teams developping its internal softwares: tests servers, sources management system, continuous integration systems... Those means generate heavy fixed costs (servers, concern, licenses...) whereas they are under-used.

At the same time, ACME main competitor, has just opened an e-commerce web site, and it has become vital to deliver a new web site in a few weeks. Problem, 3 weeks are needed to make available tools for the developers: IDE, automated funcionnal tests, tests servers... Result: development team will have to build its environment alone.

Mr Smith dreams of a sefl service, with assembly and disassembly of environments, rapidly and on demand, and solving those two problems: costs and agility. Cloud Computing turns this dream in reality, but is it a magic and universal solution? What do we have to put (or not) on "the cloud" for the developer today? In which contexts?

Arnaud and Julien will share feedbacks of Developement factories in cloud: opportunities to take and pains to avoid.
