Hi Ahmed, I believe a true cloud would be best run on a Grid infrastructure, not in the way Amazon and others are simply setting you up with a virtual machine which can only scale to set hardware implemented on. This needs optimization at the Linux Kernel level for efficient real-time scalability. XtreemOS, another open source Linux server project is making great progress in this area and I would like if anyone working on Ubuntu server/cloud take a look at their code for possible implementation. http://www.xtreemos.eu/ Redundancy is also an area in which needs addressing, Cloud assets should have an exact duplicate in different Physical locations with different ISP's Seamless integration between IPV4 and IPV6 For those on Facebook there is a group specific to XtreemOS: http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=77236338476
I hope this information is helpful to you or anyone developing Ubuntu server and cloud architecture.
