What is the Open Cloud?
summary
Panelists argue that openness is about AWS-compatible APIs and real portability not vague promises, demonstrating Eucalyptus, OpenStack and CloudStack code paths that aim to let users pull terabytes off one provider and run on their own hardware. They show tools and measures including cloudping.org to expose network realities, cite the rapid four to five year cloud maturity timeline, and claim open source modules at every layer plus enforceable user rights and interoperability are what actually make an open cloud.
