Inspiration over Perspiration: Java App Deployment for the 21st century

Java App deployment is a complex and time-consuming process requiring OS installers, package management tools, configuration management tools, configuration recipes, install scripts, deployment scripts, server tuning, server hardening and more. Is this necessary? Are we trapped in a mindset of doing it this way just because we've always done it this way?

What if you could radically simplify all this? What if entire machines could be generated in seconds with a single command? What if you could run the same machine unchanged on your workstation and in the cloud?

This talk challenges the status quo and proposes a radical rethinking of Java App deployment. If you believe in simplicity and efficiency over complexity and brute force; if you aren't afraid to look forward with fresh thinking, then this talk is for you. Live demo included.
