You have been diligent in warning us.

And how is OCCI going?

Interesting points raised in the slides. (I’m sure your live presentation was even better!)

There are lots of advantages to cloud computing, which you outline. The point that some of the comments make around API compatibility is an interesting one. However, I am not convinced that Amazon will be determining the de facto standard, especially since the competition (Google App Engine, Microsoft Windows Azure, etc.) are different types of services (PaaS vs. Amazon’s IaaS), which might make having a standard API impractical.

However, Amazon seems to be offering more PaaS-style features lately, with their new RDBM and .NET SDK, so I can’t help but wonder if the future of the industry is leading more toward PaaS, which would make a standard API *slightly* more possible.

(I am contracted by M80, working with Microsoft to promote Windows Azure)

Canonical/Eucalyptus’ decision to copy Amazon’s APIs may be a sensible (if risky) business decision but it’s not to be confused with open.

If the industry doesn’t want to be led by the nose by a single vendor again (VMware on the private side & Amazon on the public side) then we need to work hard now.

Don’t say you weren’t warned…

James, Steve is being too polite. I think what’s he’s saying is that EC2 has no independent test suite therefor interop doesn’t really exist – no specification without testification.

I do think this is *very, very* important for those promoting cloud interop, that they focus on a shared test set, and not just protocols and data formats. This is an important factor got syndication out of the weeds.

I now pass it over to sogrady
