This is a list of the most common mistakes that I have seen again and again along my career in small and large corporations in their intention of implement Agile as the primary development process. I hope while you are reading this, help you to understand what is the logic behind every single practice and try to adapt (shape) to fit into your environment. Remember, the goal is not just follow the best practices but to achieve the goals behind each one.

This material covers the initial set up of an entire Cloud environment at Amazon Cloud infrastructure to run any web implementation solutions. This is the quickest answer that you may find out there, so let’s stat it!
We will cover all the steps to set up an entire environment in a cloud platform, from creating an user account at Amazon Web Services to creating and customizing Virtual machines (AMI), Virtual Storage Units, Virtual backups, Elastic IP’s, etc.
For all of you that don’t understand some of the acronyms used here, let’s just to look at them before to start:

Many midsize corporations have enterprise solutions based on legacy systems created more than a decade ago with no strategy or architecture in mind. From a time where sustainable and ecosystems didn’t even exist. Today, those systems became a monster hard to deal with and, extremely high to maintain. Corporations need to make a decision now and chose the appropriate technology to update or rebuild their solutions with customers on mind.

The assimilation of services through service ecosystems presents major integration development and maintenance costs. Service providers need to compose their services effectively in coordination with other services if they are to engage in oncoming market opportunities and situations. Further up the supply and distribution chain, if services are to be brokered and delivered through other intermediaries (e.g., for authentication, payment, device-specific service presentations), they will need to be interfaced with service delivery components that operate in various ways. Thus, one can expect that services will have to interact with one another in ways not necessarily foreseen during their development or deployment. A key challenge in this setting is service mediation: the act of repurposing existing services so that they can interact in unforeseen manners by intercepting, storing, transforming, and routing messages going into and out of these services.

In wider spanning service ecosystems, several service providers may offer functionally replaceable services that differ in their extra-functional characteristics, such as usage terms and quality of service delivery. Service providers need to be responsive – potentially in real-time – to negotiate variations of service delivery requirements (e.g., price, deliverable timetable). Service ecosystems should therefore explicitly support the negotiation process, reducing non-critical human involvement and providing decision-makers with the information they require to formulate and assess service offers.

Internet commerce has created newer forms of service interactions than traditional marketplace transactions. Amazon/UKOnline, single-consumer-to-service transactions – e.g., making customer listings, doing basic look-ups and verification checks, and purchasing goods – are giving way to more distributed, pull-oriented and data streaming modes of interaction on the web. Marketplace auctions, voting, and subscription-based RSS feeds are enhancing wider spans of participants and semistructured, audio and video data in conventional transactional forms.
