Cloud and Open Source - A Natural Fit or Mortal Enemies?

on YouTube ↗09m

" summary

Cloud forces software to be designed for horizontal scale and massively distributed deployment; relational databases struggle but MySQL scales into the cloud, while NoSQL projects multiply. Market share estimate: 2% of workloads today, 20% in five years. Stack differences: SaaS remains mostly closed, PaaS shows some open source, IaaS hosts most OSS. Major public players keep code closed—Amazon closed, Rackspace opens OpenStack—and Eucalyptus reports rapidly growing downloads.
