Social - Cloud CFD - Part 02

We've still got our head in the the clouds this week, covering some of the topics we didn't touch in the last episode. Including –but not limited to– addressing your cloud security concerns by having a cloud-in-a-box delivered to your front door (not exactly elastic computing). The data transfer conundrum & why I think that you need to think a little differently when it comes to putting a cloud CFD workflow together. We also go on to talk about the new crop of cloud-only/cloud-first CFD providers. Is it a problem if you don't control the version of the code you're running? How might you deal with vendor lock-in when you never get a copy of the code? This week's question is - "What's stopping you from cloudifying your CFD?"
