How the cloud could conquer the world in 2010

,----[ Quote ]
| Technologies such as virtualization that underlie 
| Amazon EC2, along with open source software like 
| MemcacheD used heavily by Facebook and other 
| large web-shops, have been important enablers of 
| cloud services.

Sun Microsystems opts for open source security for the cloud

,----[ Quote ]
| Rather than offer the applications to clients and 
| leaving them to get on with the task of 
| integrating them with cloud services, however, 
| Sun is customising the software to work with 
| mainstream cloud service providers such as Amazon 
| and Eucalyptus.

Eucalyptus open-sources the cloud (Q&A)

,----[ Quote ]
| It's reasonably clear that open source is the
| heart of cloud computing, with open-source
| components adding up to equal cloud services
| like Amazon Web Services. What's not yet clear
| is how much the cloud will wear that open
| source on its sleeve, as it were.
|
| Eucalyptus, an open-source platform that
| implements "infrastructure as a service" (IaaS)
| style cloud computing, aims to take open source
| front and center in the cloud-computing craze.
| The project, founded by academics at the
| University of California at Santa Barbara, is
| now a Benchmark-funded company with an
| ambitious goal: become the universal cloud
| platform that everyone from Amazon to Microsoft
| to Red Hat to VMware ties into.
