Coincidentally, a couple months ago one of my professors told me about James Hamilton, apparently, they met when he was studying at Waterloo. I started reading his blog.
This guy is brilliant. And his comments are often gems. The articles are good too but think of them as conversation openers. The real deal is in the comments imho. I recommend it. A somewhat funny article is about Zynga, the "prodigal kid" who left AWS for on-premises, only to come back later: http://perspectives.mvdirona.com/2015/05/the-return-to-the-c...
In the comments, he debunks (or take a shot at it) the idea that cloud providers like AWS aren't a good fit for organizations which have massive, but stable workloads.
This guy is so cool. I only wish he had more time to write.
