A nice clear introduction into the various cloud services available; how they can work together without resulting in vendor-lock-in; and an overview of common pitfalls, pros and cons.
I really liked this talk, how the speaker was really interacting with the audience and spoke with confidence and perfect timing - Nicely done!
Only thing is that people putting up their hand may not feel great talking, putting up a hand is easy, so if a person looks a bit shy or distant, you should probably take that into account - They may feel uncomfortable otherwise and that can completely ruin the experience.
Was expecting more of a "web operations" talk, but it ended up being a list of the services and tools available for setting up a cloud based infrastructure.
It failed to mention one of the big player on the cloud, Rackspace's (RackConnect's CloudServer and CloudFiles). Also failed to mention Chef, which I think has grown into something as big, or almost as big as Puppet.
I was hoping for more than this talk delivered. As others have said it ended up running through a couple of lists of things and I dont think I gained much from sitting through it.
Whilst there were parts of this talk I found informative and, as a whole, it gave me some ideas, I thought it started to wander a bit after a strong start. I think that some general design and implementation strategies to make better use of cloud services would have been better than the check box comparison of different cloud providers.

Nice talk. Good broad overview of the options available, considerations, pitfalls etc.
