The centerpiece of every OTN Architect Day event is a panel discussion the gathers all of the session speakers togehter to respond to questions from the audience. I generally try to record these discussions, usually by stiking my iPad on top of one of the PA speakers, with mixed results. Fortunately, the A/V tech at the venue for the Los Angeles event, held on October 25, 2012, had the necessary gear to get a good-quality recording of the panel discussion. So starting this week the OTN ArchBeat Podcast will feature a short series of highlights from those discussions.

• Listen to Part 1: Dude, What's My Role?
  Members of the Architect Day panel respond to an audience question about what happens to traditional IT roles in a cloud environment.
• Listen to Part 2: Migrating Mission-Critical Applications to the Cloud (Nov 21)
  The panel offers advice and examples in response to an audience question about dealing with mission-critical applications.
• Listen to Part 3: All Clouds Are Not Equal (Nov 28)
  The panel responds to a challenging question about cloud strategy with a discussion of enterprise-grade cloud services.
• Listen to Part 4: Cloud Security and Auditing (Dec 5)
  The last segment in the series is short discussion in response to an audience question about auditing and security in the cloud.
