Editor's Note: Do It Yourself "Cloud"

,----[ Quote ]
| But "cloud" covers a lot of different 
| services, and there is no need to throw out 
| good ideas. Cloud services can be roughly 
| divided into four categories: ordinary 
| hosting services for Web sites and email, 
| hosted applications, offsite data storage 
| and backups, and hosting services that use 
| virtualization and distributed computing to 
| provide flexible resource allocation. The 
| last is what I consider to be the true 
| cloud, and the other three items can all be 
| put inside this cloud.
| 
| Whatever you call it and however you want 
| to implement it, why not do-it-yourself? 
| Linux has everything you need. It means 
| being responsible for your own security, 
| hardware, and uptimes, bandwidth costs. It 
| may be that using a hosting service is more 
| cost-effective. But there are plenty of DIY 
| options, and you keep control in your 
| hands.

Cloud computing security benefits, risks and recommendations

,----[ Quote ]
| ENISA's report is the first to take an 
| independent, in-depth look at all the 
| security and privacy issues of moving into 
| the cloud, outlining some of the 
| information security benefits of cloud 
| computing, as well as 35 key security 
| risks.

Open-source CloudMade takes on Google Maps

,----[ Quote ]
| CloudMade is gearing up to release a set of 
| tools that will enable people to quickly 
| and easily contribute to the OpenStreetMap 
| project.
| 
| At the same time the company is looking to 
| create a developer model that will enable 
| developers to use OpenStreetMap data and 
| databases in their websites and iPhone 
| applications.

Open source and the cloud - the quick and the dead

,----[ Quote ]
| And if youâre wondering why a cloud 
| provider would bother working with an open 
| source specialist vendor, rather than just 
| taking their code, consider this: one of 
| the cloud providers mentioned in this post 
| pays for enterprise Linux support 
| subscriptions rather than using a community 
| Linux or supporting its Linux servers 
| internally. And it isnât Microsoft.

Open-source tools could make it easier to build a hybrid cloud

,----[ Quote ]
| Of the two packages, Eucalyptus is farther
| along in terms of development: NASA uses
| Eucalyptus for its Nebula cloud. The Energy
| Department's Argonne National Laboratory is
| also exploring Eucalyptus, for scientific
| research. Deltacloud is still in
| development, though agencies could
| participate and help define it features.

Cloud is Just Another Word for "Sucker"

,----[ Quote ]
| The cloud, software as a service, hosted
| applications, whatever you want to call it
| is coming. The concepts are useful, but I
| have little faith in the implementations.
|
| A Practical Alternative
|
| As always in Linux-land, there is a role
| for the do-it-yourselfer to turn dung into
| gold. Come back next week and I will tell
| about this.
