They need solutions that work now • They want to pick awinner • It’s not just about open source • It’s not even primarily about open source • It’s about speed • It’s about cost • It’s about alternatives (to 300lb gorillas)
Consumer concerns are abstracted from provider concerns through service interfaces Services are delivered through use of Internet Identifiers, Formats, and Protocols. Services are tracked with usage metrics to enable multiple payment models. Services scale on-demand to add or remove resources as needed. Services share a pool of resources to build economies of scale. 2 1 3 5 4 Metered By Use Scalable and Elastic Service Based Shared Internet Technologies Obligatory Cloud Definition Slide Gartner defines cloud computing as "a style of computing where scalable and elastic IT-related capabilities are provided 'as a service' to customers using Internet Technologies." 5 Attributes that support outcomes

What is open • Equality — The more everyone's rights and responsibilities are equal, the more open something is. • Inclusiveness — The more parties who can participate in using and shaping something, the more open it is.
What is open • Licensing— conditions for use • Community —conditions for participation • Architecture— conditions for evolution 13
Applied to the Linux kernel • Licensing— restrictions on distributing derivative works, but derivative works are more open • Community —not equal or inclusive • Architecture— easily built upon, extended, etc.
"Open” is a feature • Open source cloud technologies, such as hypervisors and cloud management platforms (CMPs), • Open APIs, such as the Amazon Web Services (AWS) APIs and the Open Cloud Computing Interface (OCCI) • Open formats and protocols, such as the Open Virtualization Format (OVF) and Cloud Infrastructure Management Interface (CIMI)
“Open” is a marketing term • "The introduction of these open cloud products marks the first time any company has deployed a large-scale open source public cloud powered by…" • "…extends support for open cloud ecosystem." • "…sets itself apart from the cloud crowd by developing innovative and flexible Web and cloud services using open source software." • "…an open cloud provides the interoperability that will free companies from being locked in to a single cloud vendor."
Open hype • Interoperability and portability • Reduced lock-in • Freedom from commercial interests • Lower costs
Open reality: interoperability and portability are hard • The API is not the implementation: Just because you can write to it doesn't mean it will actually work • Wide adoption is required to even begin to consider portability or interoperability IT organization acting as a provider and broker Traditional IT Private Clouds Public Clouds Hybrid Clouds
Open reality: there is always lock-in • Visibility and control does not prevent dependency and lock in • Real lock-in will be at the Cloud Management Platform — open source or commercial
Open reality: you cannot escape vendors • Open means open to everybody, including vendors • You still need: Support, integration, services, maintenance, and so on.
Open reality: open can be moreexpensive • Capital expense often offset with greater operating expense • The same goes for migration/transition between cloud providers or platforms
