The Great Open Cloud Shootout
summary
Sun plans a public IaaS this summer and Amazon highlights EC2 (2006), S3 and DevPay as concrete building blocks; Drizzle is a MySQL fork and Cassandra is pitched as a Bigtable+Dynamo style cloud datastore. RightScale provides cloud management and craigslist runs MySQL replication at scale. Claims include automation, virtualization and pay‑as‑you‑go economics; concrete wins: cheap ephemeral test clusters (minutes for a few dollars) and storage limits (terabyte uploads hit bandwidth barriers). Barriers: data privacy, vendor lock‑in and inconsistent volume semantics.
