If you were able to attend GigaOm Structure of last week in San Francisco, you would have seen an interesting dynamic unfold in "wars of API: provide the de facto standard "session that included Sameer Dholakia (Citrix), Chris Kemp (OpenStack, Nebula) and Marten Mickos (Eucalyptus) a discussion to debate the relative merits of API clouds turned out to be a serial eye. of even opening remarks that highlighted the differences that may exist in the philosophies of open source. First, you have pure open source play, crushed OpenStack community-led development project and on the other you have commercial open source products from Citrix and Eucalyptus. (I will not use this forum to discuss the differences between them). this is in my opinion, was a series of humorous shots that showed on the panel which was built something for the actual customer deployment and who was not.
I congratulate Sameer and Marten to keep their composure in the light of what came out as Kemp attacks. While everyone agrees that open source is the right model for accelerating the development of the cloud platform, there were very different views on where the value of this drift. While OpenStack seems to believe that the inclusion of hardware vendors (as highlighted Mickos) in their universe developer will add momentum to their project, I agree with the assertion that the creation Sameer a community of customers and partners that we are actively deploying with live accounts finally added an order of magnitude more value to a project like Apache CloudStack.
Ultimately, Citrix and ecosystem Apache CloudStack learn in the trenches what it takes to build clouds by the evolution of a product and project real-world scenarios. I can appreciate the efforts to maintain civility on a topic that the media enjoys portraying as a war and loved that ended in a group hug (video - screen cap below) that I think will go down as a historic moment in the birth of cloud computing. From my point of view, you can not have a war until you have someone or something to fight on the battlefield and it was obvious after this session that OpenStack is yet to show up and do not have a weapon.
