ah, Azrul is restating R.Stallmans comments.... buts it s OK..
there are Open Source Clouds, ie: clouds by Open Src companies who adhere to a philosophy of FOSS, transparency, ...etc, but there are also FOSS tools to allow you to build yr own cloud.... here is a URL http://socializedsoftware.com/2010/01/20/eleven-open-source-cloud-computing-projects-to-watch/ Among the 2 prominent ones are Eucalyptus: http://open.eucalyptus.com/ Globus Nimbus, Chicago U.: http://www.nimbusproject.org/ can read more about them here: http://www.technologyreview.com/web/21642/ I also remember reading somewhere that Mandriva, one of my favourite distros, is also getting into the act of providing such tools as well as providing cloud infra, ala Ubuntu, but I cannot find it (the tools part that is) So yes, we can play in cloud too in FOSS. And Raja, if you wanna build a cloud, I'll be interested... time permitting of course.. ;-) On Mon, Apr 5, 2010 at 1:06 PM, Raja Iskandar Shah <[email protected]> wrote: > i somewhat agree with azrul. we should go for the open source private > clouds. > > like http://www.ubuntu.com/cloud/private > > or boleh buat slug fest ke antara ubuntu / fedora / bsd as the infra for > private cloud ? > > hohoho..... berminat sangat nak tengok how cloud handle load balancing. > > > > On Mon, Apr 5, 2010 at 12:29 PM, Azrul MADISA <[email protected]> wrote: >> >> Just to be a devil's advocate here, wouldn't the cloud be contrary to the >> spirit of open source?
