Let’s be honest, when most IT people are questioned about cloud, immediately they would mention either Amazon (AWS) or Microsoft Azure; some may also mention Google Cloud Platform, IBM SoftLayer or even Rackspace.

So, It's Thursday May 25th, the day after DevNet Create, Cisco DevNet's very first developer conference. It's kind of like the day after Christmas.
