An interesting article that does a good job at providing some comparison of a handful of cloud computing models.
What makes cloud computing rather interesting today is the fact that the “components” of cloud computing is really being driven by open source. Obviously Microsoft is getting on the bandwagon. The laggards have to follow what is being hyped. The question remains though – Will the community rally around a compelling concept that can propel open source into what I would call the next iteration of a network? or Will Microsoft take what could be a real opportunity for everyone and make a Microsoft standard and Microsoft-isms to “cloud” cloud computing?
Time will tell, but I can assure you of one thing. Open source has an opportunity. Open source has a community. It is time for the community to show their true strength.
