Cloudy Futures? The Role of Open Source in Creating Competitive Markets
summary
OpenStack aims to commoditize the low-level cloud stack so companies stop reinventing messaging, API, hypervisor and instead compete on higher-value services; it promotes the four opens: open source, open development, open design, open community, with small commits and participatory governance. The claim is that core IaaS is simple—reproducible by six guys in 3 months—so closed-source vendors must change business models or be disrupted, and open platforms create the competitive market Apache did for web hosting.
