How the Cloud Stretches the SOA Scope

Abstract

In this article, we will describe how the enterprise service-oriented-architecture (SOA) scope is stretched with the advent of cloud computing. With the help of the case study of a fictitious global retailer, we will demonstrate the process for identifying cloud scenarios. Also, we will come across an emerging breed of distributed applications—both on-premise and in the Cloud—and discuss the integration considerations for building them.
