      The most enjoyable part of my job at AppDynamics is to witness and evangelize customer success. What’s slightly strange is that for this to happen, an application has to slow down or crash. It’s a bittersweet feeling when End Users, Operations, Developers and many Businesses suffer application performance pain.

Public-cloud providers like Google, Heroku, EngineYard and DotCloud seduced us with promises of cost-efficiency, scalability and convenience. Early adopters spun off a few VMs, connected the users and prepared for growth. And when that corporate growth arrived, the public cloud would grow too. At least that was the vision; yet the reality is more complicated. Public cloud deployment entails hidden costs. E

Now that's a lot of nouns (actually they're mostly verbs too) relating to the actions we take upon our applications, so what do we really mean by these terms?
