Cloud: Are We Doing Enough
summary
Linux is dominant in cloud but hype drowns technical detail; real vendor lock‑in happens at the image-level lock-in (images and hypervisor formats), not just APIs. Management feature gaps versus VMware include live migration (vMotion), richer monitoring and a polished GUI, plus proprietary orchestrator scripts that don’t port. Multiple stacks—fragmented frameworks like OpenStack, CloudStack, Eucalyptus, OpenNebula—leave no shared target list of must‑have features, so the community lacks coordinated priorities and measurable goals.
