You're in IT, so you know patterns are more than the decorative motifs on a manager's
tie.
A software pattern is a collection of elements that describe a complete software solution,
potentially involving multiple interconnected systems, as a single entity. All of the knowledge
to create, configure, and support every aspect of the solution is included in the pattern.
Patterns package experience and knowledge into a form that can be shared and reused
by others who do not have the same deep technical skills.
There are system patterns that conform to the way your systems are organized today,
just virtualized to participate in the cloud.
And there are application patterns. They are simplified to allow you to focus on your business
requirements. These patterns take full advantage of the cloud.
When used in the cloud, patterns offer an efficient, dynamic use of IT resources with
consistent results.
Practically speaking then, you can build a whole software solution to run in a public
or private cloud in minutes instead of days or weeks.
Patterns save you valuable time, money, and resources along the way.
