Patrick Pushor of Cloud Chronicle interviewed me for his podcast, which can be found here.

In the podcast, we covered many topics, including:

• End user adoption drivers (and hindrances)
• Cloud TCO, ROI and soft benefits that are hard to quantify (e.g., increased business agility due to cloud computing)
• Building robust and scalable applications in the cloud
• Whether cloud adoption is proceeding rapidly or slowly (hint: I assert it's proceeding much more rapidly than previous technology platform shifts, driven primarily by the intense pain being felt by IT groups struggling with scale, complexity, and costs).

It was really fun participating in the podcast, and I hope you'll listen and let me know what you think.
