Last night on 5/11/2011 I presented a session to the local COSPUG group on Enterprise Services Farms.

Abstract:

With the new Service Application model additional possibilities are opened up for publishing and consuming individual service applications across farms. This architectural design has previously been thought to only be of use in the very largest SharePoint deployments. However, with the ease of setting up publishing and consuming farms this pattern offers many more possibilities. In this session we will examine setting up services in a Service Farm environment

I promised to upload my content for the talk (PowerPoint, PowerShell scripts) to my blog.  The PowerPoint contains an overview of services farms as well as step by step actions to set them up.  The PowerShell script is a script for exchanging trust certificates as well as a script for publishing the services.

You can access all of that here.
