I created this site for the sole purpose of having a test system to see how cloud computing really works. I want first-hand experience! I’m planning to try out different cloud computing offerings in future, but so far I’ll concentrate on Amazon AWS and Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) in general. I would like to share this interest as well, thus I created a Facebook group Cloud Computing Finland. Any other cloud evangelists out there?

A bit of myself: I’m Finnish, soon in my 30s and have MSc in telecommunications. I graduated from Helsinki University of Technology (TKK) in March 2009, but have been working with IT since 2003. I have been working for various institutions and companies, big and mid-sized. I am currently working for HP Fortum and am located in Helsinki. I’ve been working mostly with networks and Windows servers, but have some experience with virtualization and linux systems as well. I did my thesis work about distributed agile software development.

A short disclaimer: all opinions and views presented in this blog are my own and don’t have anything to do with my employer, Fortum Oyj.

I hope you will enjoy the posts and leave your comments!
