Apple on Wednesday introduced iPad, a revolutionary device for browsing the web, reading and sending email, enjoying photos, watching videos, listening to music, playing games, reading e-books and much more. iPad’s responsive high-resolution Multi-Touch(TM) display lets users physically interact with applications and content. iPad is just 0.5 inches thick and weighs just 1.5 pounds– thinner and lighter than any laptop or netbook. iPad includes 12 new innovative apps designed especially for the iPad, and will run almost all of the over 140,000 apps in the App Store. iPad will be available in late March starting at the breakthrough price of just $499.

Just when the dust seems to have settled from the whole “SOA is Dead” kerfuffle, our own Dave Linthicum throws more cold water on the SOA/cloud party — with a proclamation that “Design-time Governance is Dead.” (Well, not dead yet, but getting there…)
We’ve been preaching both sides of governance as
the vital core of any SOA effort — and with good reason. Ultimately, as
SOA proliferates as a methodology for leveraging business technology,
and by extension, services are delivered through the cloud platform,
people and organizations will play the roles of both creators and
consumers of services. The line between the two are blurring more every
day, and both design-time and runtime governance discipline, policies,
and tools will be required.
In a post that raised plenty of eyebrows (not to mention eyelids), Dave Linthicum says the rise of the cloud paradigm may eventually kill off the design-time aspect of governance, the lynchpin of SOA-based efforts. As Dave explains it, with cloud computing, it’s essential to have
runtime service governance in place, in order to enforce service
policies during execution. This is becoming a huge need as more
organizations tap into cloud formations. “Today SOA is a huge reality
as companies ramp up to leverage cloud computing or have an SOA that
uses cloud-based services,” he says. “Thus, the focus on runtime
service execution provides much more value.”
Many of the existing runtime SOA governance players support enough
design and implementation capabilities that separate design-time tools
are not required, Dave adds.
Todd Biske, enterprise architect extraordinaire and author of SOA Governance: The Key to Successful SOA Adoption in Your Organization, recently weighed in on Dave Linthicum’s remarks that cloud computing will soon kill design-time governance. Todd says there is an important role for design-time governance in the cloud, but he says his definitions differ from Dave’s.
While runtime governance is very
important to cloud computing, it’s critical to be able to manage
services across their entire lifecycles, from the earliest phases of
the service contract, Todd says. The issue may be Dave’s definition of
design-time governance, which is one many in the industry apply — the
“notion that design-time governance is only concerned with service
design and development.” Todd notes that governance should actually be
thought of in three timeframes; “pre-project, project, and runtime.”
As he explains it:
“There’s a lot more that goes on before runtime than
design, and these activities still need to be governed. It is true that
if you’re leveraging an external provider, you don’t have any need to
govern the development practices. You do, however, still need to govern
the processes that led to the decision of what provider to use; The
processes that define the service contract between you and the
provider, both the functional interface and the non-functional aspects;
and the processes executed when you add additional consumers at your
organization of externally provided services.”
WebLayers’ Jeff Papows disagrees with Dave, stating that “nothing could be further from the truth” in terms of the role of design-time governance in the cloud. In fact, if anything, the rise of the cloud computing paradigm calls
for greater attention to design-time governance. As Jeff puts it:
“If we cut corners at the beginning of the development
process, we will almost always create gaps in the cloud resulting in
the proliferation of bad code and applications. If in fact more
services are accessed, sometimes anonymously, from God knows where, in
fact the quality of those services now destined to be used and reused
must in fact of an even higher quality. Sounds like design time
governance to me.”
The growing utilization of cloud resources brings forward new design
governance challenges, Jeff argues.” For example, when and how should
cloud resources be used, do they support the proper technologies,
functionality and performance we expect?”
Our own Phil Wainewright, expert in all things cloudy and SaaSy, also sought to put things in perspective, with a supportive statement about Dave’s prediction: computing blogger at ZDNet:
“I think Dave Linthicum’s point was subtler than this. He was saying
that, if you don’t know where, how or by whom your services are going
to be consumed until you’ve deployed them, then you can’t possibly
design the governance you’ll need in advance. It’s only once the
service starts running that your monitoring and governance becomes
meaningful, as an iterative process that responds to actual, changing
usage.
And Layer 7’s Scott Morrison points out that Dave’s statement is a logical extension of the “SOA is Dead” turn-of-events since January 2009, which calls for a new way of looking at service orientation and service delivery:
“The incendiary nature of is-dead statements often conceal
the subtle but important ideas behind them. Dave’s declaration is no
different. What he’s really suggesting is that cloud will rapidly shift
the traditional priorities with respect to services governance. In the
big SOA era (before Jan 1, 2009), design-time governance was king. It
fit nicely into the plan-manage-control discipline underpinning a large
enterprise-scale SOA effort. And to support this, tool vendors rushed
in and offered up applications to facilitate the process. Run time
services governance, in contrast, was often perceived as something you
could ignore until later-after all, on-premise IT has reasonably good
security and monitoring in place. The technology might be old and the
process a little byzantine, but it could tide you over. And if any
internal staff were caught accessing services they shouldn’t be you
could just fire them.The cloud inverts this priority. If you deploy even one service into the public cloud, you must have runtime service governance in place. That
one service needs to be hardened and protected as you would a DMZ-based
application. You must have continuous visibility into its operation
from the moment you turn it on. Run time governance simply cannot be
put off.”
