Eucalyptus' AWS Bet

Eucalyptus’ AWS Bet

By Krishnan Subramanian on November 27, 2012

Yesterday Eucalyptus announced the new version of their software and, in the process, more closely aligned with AWS. It is not surprising given the ground realities of cloud infrastructure market. I would even argue that it is a smart bet by Eucalyptus which could help them as enterprises are seriously considering AWS off late. Before […]

By Krishnan Subramanian on October 18, 2012

During the last Google I/O, Google’s user conference, Google announced Google Compute Engine (GCE). GCE was Google’s answer to Amazon EC2 and they opened up their private beta to handful of people. I was not lucky enough to get into the list but I recently got an opportunity to check it out myself. Before I talk […]

OpenStack Summit – Fall 2012: My Expectations

By Krishnan Subramanian on October 15, 2012

As I travel to San Diego to attend the OpenStack Summit (Fall 2012 edition), I am thinking about what to expect from the event. I wrote about the enthusiasm I saw in the community after the April 2012 Summit. Even though I expect to see the same (more) enthusiasm in the community, I also want […]

Misconceptions About Federated Clouds

By Krishnan Subramanian on August 13, 2012

I thought I will use this post to clarify these misconceptions. For beginners, please check out this post on the definition of federated cloud ecosystems. Federated clouds is pushed as an alternative to […]

OpenStack Elections: Troubling Questions

OpenStack Elections: Troubling Questions

By Krishnan Subramanian on August 1, 2012

Last weekend there was an uproar in the cloud community over a post made by Shanley Kane, geek in the valley working for Basho. The post is now removed from her Github account but it was apparently forked by Justin Sheehy and it is missing too. Even more surprisingly, it is also gone from Google […]

Two Years Of OpenStack: Looking From The Other Side

Two Years Of OpenStack: Looking From The Other Side

By Krishnan Subramanian on July 25, 2012

Yesterday I wrote a post about OpenStack and talked about the concerns among the developers that there is too much emphasis given to marketing than engineering. Yesterday, we publicly came to know about how OpenStack developers from the original Anso Labs team are quitting Rackspace to Nebula, it raises some troubling questions. OpenStackers dismiss this […]

Why Google Compute Engine Is The Right Move

Why Google Compute Engine Is The Right Move

By Krishnan Subramanian on July 9, 2012

Two weeks back at Google I/O, Google announced the release of their infrastructure services offering called Google Compute Engine. This is a pretty interesting move from Google who is late in the infrastructure game compared to Amazon Web Services or, even, Microsoft Azure. The last two weeks were filled with posts from pundits and I […]

On The Issue Of Standardization Around AWS APIs

On The Issue Of Standardization Around AWS APIs

By Krishnan Subramanian on May 12, 2012

I am an vocal opponent of the idea of standardization around AWS API *at this point of time*. I think that it is too early to standardize and too risky especially when Amazon has not released the APIs under one of the open licenses like Creative Commons. Stephen O’Grady from Redmonk highlights the second part […]
