In case you missed it, BEA recently released (a beta of) a new product: WebLogic Operations Control.
It's described on the corporate site as "an enterprise application virtualization solution that allows for centralized governance and control over Java applications, including dynamic activation and scale-out to meet ever-changing mission-critical business demands."
It's pretty obvious that virtualization is a key to future IT agility. I wonder how the ability to dynamically and automatically allocate applications to virtual resources is going to change how we think about future architectures?
In the  Articles we have a few supporting articles.
BEA WebLogic Operations Control: Application Virtualization for Enterprise Java
shows that WebLogic Operations Control is a management framework for virtualized and non-virtualized enterprise Java applications that addresses the key challenges involved in application virtualization. This white paper explores the framework and its use cases.
Also check out  SOA and Virtualization: How do They Fit Together?. This white paper explores Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) and virtualization, showing how aspects of virtualization can be seen as enablers for the flexibility promised by SOA. It also establishes the technical links between SOA and virtualization in enterprise computing.
In the Blogs,
Gabriel Bechara asks What is a Reusable Service?. He provides some interesting guidelines, including constraints that the service should be stateless and composable.
Bob Rhubart, in an interesting exchange with David Linthicum, writes that Effective SOA Governance keeps the focus on architecture. He adds that "Technology isn't SOA governance—technology is a tool of SOA governance. Let's not forget that other mantra: SOA governance is something you do, not something you buy."
Suchin asks SOA, EA, RA: What do they mean?. He provides definitions for each.
Many folk are talking about Service Component Architecture (SCA), and Vijay Mandava blogs that WLS 10.3 Tech Preview supports SCA. For an interesting take on SCA and JBI, see Dain Hansen's JBI is still dead.
Finally, for a bit of fun, check out Dain's Look out Godzilla here comes AquaLogic, "SOA Field" hits the Theaters on YouTube.
