This is a long overdue acknowledgment of my friend and colleague at GigaSpaces, Dekel Tankel's blog - Thoughts from the Clouds. A lot of people out there are talking about cloud computing, without truly understanding the issues, and without real-world experience -- and so we need more blogs such as Dekel's.
Dekel is out there every day working with the people who are truly practicing cloud computing. And I am not talking about the pundits, but the real-life customers who are using platforms such as EC2, Joyent and GoGrid -- and of course, running on the GigaSpaces cloud application server. And Dekel is doing it hands-on, helping GigaSpaces customers get on the cloud.
So check out his blog and encourage him to write more!
