DESCRIPTION
How does open cloud compete with AWS? By recognizing that AWS has won, and by duplicating its functionality and semantics as rapidly as possible to provide users with desperately needed choice.TRANSCRIPT
AWS and the open cloud ecosystem

@gregdek – tweet me up :)
Q+A
( Why are you here? Do use use AWS? Are you looking at private cloud? Just want to be entertained? Let's go around.)
(And I have a lot of questions myself.)
MTBIAMSH (nat friedman's new toys | the sysadmin's lament | testing at scale )
(Why cloud?)
AWS?( gartner magic quadrant | why? | infrastructure | real SOA | revealing the need for scale )
Can anyone catch
private cloud,
srsly???( regulatory | leverage legacy | price | fight lock-in | NIST definition | the victory of open )
FollowAWSAPI
( why openstack competes | why eucalyptus co-opts | what the pundits think )

Would Linux have been a success...
...if Linus had rewritten POSIX?
( the GNU tools ecosystem on UNIX | the power of the de facto standard | 1000x50 or 50x1000 )
Q+A
(And let's do questions again.)
Miscellaneous slides follow.

Fun Fact!
The first four leaders of the Fedora Project left Red Hat to work for cloud companies.

Low MTBIAMSH...because if you develop software, you have no excuse for not doing continuous integration.

Cloud computing has created the lowest ever valuefor MTBIAMSH in the history of computing.
That's why everyone is using it.

What does this mean for open source?
Open source has won
Linux is the dominant cloud operating system
Thus, cloud is where the opportunities are?

Amazon, Google, Rackspace, and everyone else all use Linux hosts underneath, because why wouldn't you?

Open source IaaSOpen source Paas
Open source SaaS?
The opportunity: build SaaS based on open source components?
Cloud is a way to monetize open source software
Does cloud freedom matter?
The fear: lock-in
The opportunity: the open cloud

Ultimately, relying on a single vendor is bad!

FIXME: image of the Rackspace open cloud billboards
It is both intuitive and desirable to create an open cloud. We need an open cloud.
And remember: Everyone is looking for any way to compete with AWS.

Creating a new cloud ecosystem: is it working?
OpenStack: huge brand
OpenStack: huge community
AWS: way ahead in features
AWS: way ahead in users
OpenStack doesn't help AWS users?

So who is Eucalyptus?
We care about open AWS
Eucalyptus is an acronym
The GPL and why it still matters?

Loose vs. tight integration
Focus yields efficiency

BUT WHO IS THE LINUX OF CLOUD???!!?!!!?!11!!!??!one
Hello everybody out there using minix -
I’m doing a (free) operating system (just a hobby, won’t be big andprofessional like gnu) for 386(486) AT clones. This has been brewingsince april, and is starting to get ready. I’d like any feedback onthings people like/dislike in minix, as my OS resembles it somewhat(same physical layout of the file-system (due to practical reasons)among other things).
I’ve currently ported bash(1.08) and gcc(1.40), and things seem to work.This implies that I’ll get something practical within a few months, andI’d like to know what features most people would want. Any suggestionsare welcome, but I won’t promise I’ll implement them :-)

Hello everybody out there using AWS -
I’m doing a (free) cloud (just a hobby, won’t be big and professionallike AWS) for Linux. This has been brewing since april, and isstarting to get ready. I’d like any feedback on things peoplelike/dislike in AWS, as my cloud resembles it somewhat (same physicallayout of the API (due to practical reasons) among other things).
I’ve currently ported EC2 and S3, and things seem to work. Thisimplies that I’ll get something practical within a few months, and I’dlike to know what features most people would want. Any suggestions arewelcome, but I won’t promise I’ll implement them :-)
