Introduction: Update: : Eucalyptus Goes Commercial with $5.5M Funding Round . This removes my objection that it's an academic project only. Go team go! Rich Wolski , professor of Computer Science at the University of California, Santa Barbara, gave a spirited talk on Eucalyptus to a large group of very interested cloudsters at the Eucalyptus Cloud Meetup . If Rich could teach computer science at every school the state of the computer science industry would be stratospheric. Rich is dynamic, smart, passionate, and visionary. It's that vision that prompted him to create Eucalyptus in the first place. Rich and his group are experts in grid and distributed computing, having a long and glorious history in that space. When he saw cloud computing on the rise he decided the best way to explore it was to implement what everyone accepted as a real cloud, Amazon's API. In a remarkably short time they implement Eucalyptus and have been improving it and tracking Amazon's changes ever since. The question

Introduction: The term "cloud portability" is often considered a synonym for "Cloud API portability," which implies a series of misconceptions. If we break away from dogma, we can find that what we really looking for in cloud portability is Application portability between clouds which can be a vastly simpler requirement, as we can achieve application portability without settling on a common Cloud API. In this post i'll be covering five common misconceptions people have WRT to cloud portability. Cloud portability = Cloud API portability . API portability is easy; cloud API portability is not. The main incentive for Cloud Portability is - Avoiding Vendor lock-in .Cloud portability is more about business agility than it is about vendor lock-in. Cloud portability isn’t for startups . Every startup that is expecting rapid growth should re-examine their deployments and plan for cloud portability rather than wait to be forced to make the switch when you are least prepared to do so.

5 0.82266653 803 high scalability-2010-04-05-Intercloud: How Will We Scale Across Multiple Clouds?
Introduction: In A Brief History of the Internet it was revealed that the Internet was based on the idea that there would be multiple independent networks of rather arbitrary design. The Internet as we now know it embodies a key underlying technical idea, namely that of open architecture networking. In this approach, the choice of any individual network technology was not dictated by a particular network architecture but rather could be selected freely by a provider and made to interwork with the other networks through a meta-level "Internetworking Architecture". With the cloud we are in the same situation today, just a layer or two higher up the stack. We have independent clouds that we would like to connect and work seamlessly together, preferably with the ease at which we currently connect nodes to a network and networks to the Internet. This technology seems to be called the Intercloud : an interconnected global "cloud of clouds " as apposed to the Internet which is a "network

Introduction: For a great Christmas read forget The Night Before Christmas , a heart warming poem written by Clement Moore for his children, that created the modern idea of Santa Clause we all know and anticipate each Christmas eve. Instead, curl up with a some potent eggnog , nog being any drink made with rum, and read CRDTs: Consistency without concurrency control  by Mihai Letia, Nuno Preguiça, and Marc Shapiro, which talks about CRDTs (Commutative Replicated Data Type), a data type whose operations commute when they are concurrent . From the introduction, which also serves as a nice concise overview of distributed consistency issues: Shared read-only data is easy to scale by using well-understood replication techniques. However, sharing mutable data at a large scale is a difficult problem, because of the CAP impossibility result [5]. Two approaches dominate in practice. One ensures scalability by giving up consistency guarantees, for instance using the Last-Writer-Wins (LWW) approach [

Introduction: Hello everybody! I am a developer of a website with a lot of traffic. Right now we are managing the whole website using perl + postgresql + fastcgi + memcached + mogileFS + lighttpd + roundrobin DNS distributed over 5 servers and I must say it works like a charm, load is stable and everything works very fast and we are recording about 8 million pageviews per day. The only problem is with postgres database since we have it installed only on one server and if this server goes down, the whole "cluster" goes down. That's why we have a master2slave replication so we still have a backup database except that when the master goes down, all inserts/updates are disabled so the whole website is just read only. But this is not a problem since this configuration is working for us and we don't have any problems with it. Right now we are planning to build our own analytics service that would be customized for our needs. We tried various different software packages but were not satisfi

Introduction: The modern datacenter is evolving into the network centric datacenter model, which is applied to both public and private cloud computing. In this model, networking, platform, storage, and software infrastructure are provided as services that scale up or down on demand. The network centric model allows the datacenter to be viewed as a collection of automatically deployed and managed application services that utilize underlying virtualized services. Providing sufficient elasticity and scalability for the rapidly growing needs of the datacenter requires these collections of automatically-managed services to scale efficiently and with essentially no limits, letting services adapt easily to changing requirements and workloads. Sun’s VeriScale architecture provides the architectural platform that can deliver these capabilities. Sun Microsystems has been developing open and modular infrastructure architectures for more than a decade. The features of these architectures, such as elasticity, ar
