OpenStack: A Community Torn Apart - Freedland, Bias and Scoble

OpenStack: A Community Torn Apart – Freedland, Bias and Scoble

By Ofir Nachmani on January 10, 2014

Last month, I attended the OpenStack summit in Tel Aviv.  This was yet another great event brought to us by the brilliant Gigaspaces team (especially @shar1z) headed by one of the most important cloud evangelists in Israel and the world, @natishalom. OpenStack aims to provide the ubiquitous open source cloud computing platform for public and private clouds. Wikipedia […]

OpenStack Infighting: Will It Affect The Project?

OpenStack Infighting: Will It Affect The Project?

By Krishnan Subramanian on January 16, 2013

It has been 2+ years since OpenStack was launched and the project is slowly maturing as organizations are exploring the use of OpenStack for their private cloud needs. As money gets into the ecosystem, it is natural for bickering to start among the ecosystem players. In fact, naysayers of the project has been saying this […]

Open Source Metrics: Let Us Get Realistic

Open Source Metrics: Let Us Get Realistic

By Krishnan Subramanian on January 8, 2013

Recently a blogger wrote an article comparing the mailing list interaction in the communities around major open source infrastructure projects. It is a personal project by a blogger using various data sources available in the internet. But the post kickstarted discussion among the punditry talking about whether OpenStack or CloudStack is the top ranking infrastructure […]

CloudFoundry Core May Not Be Important But CloudFoundry Is Important

CloudFoundry Core May Not Be Important But CloudFoundry Is Important

By Krishnan Subramanian on November 26, 2012

Two weeks back I wrote a post arguing that CloudFoundry Core is not important. I had argued that even though CloudFoundry Core is done with an intention to make application portability seamless across various CloudFoundry deployments, the business considerations of PaaS vendors in the ecosystem will ensure that application portability is not a given. The […]

Why CloudFoundry Core Is (Not) Important?

Why CloudFoundry Core Is (Not) Important?

By Krishnan Subramanian on November 16, 2012

On Tuesday, VMware’s CloudFoundry project announced the availability of CloudFoundry Core, a baseline to test if an application is compatible to CloudFoundry’s core open source release. The CloudFoundry Core is based on a set of components that forms the baseline for the definition of core. Right now, they have limited set of programming languages and […]

Open Discussions On Open Cloud

Open Discussions On Open Cloud

By Ben Kepes on October 26, 2012

As I go from conference to conference, I’m seeing more and more examples of people talking about the “open cloud.” Proponents talk about choice, flexibility and the inherent safety of the open cloud. Opponents, on the other hand, point to fragmentation, immaturity and concerns about anything that is available without

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 […]

If Developers are the new Kingmakers–Salesforce is Starting to Own the Castle

If Developers are the new Kingmakers–Salesforce is Starting to Own the Castle

By Ben Kepes on October 4, 2012

I’ve been attending Salesforce’s user conference now for a few years and one thing that’s always been a little awkward is the fact that Salesforce has always tried to make the event meaningful for developers but has generally created a kind of Frankenstein beast where suited business types get highbrow in the main conference whilst […]

Open Source Dynamics: Shall We Put An End To The Meaningless Arguments?

By Krishnan Subramanian on October 3, 2012

For sometime now, we are seeing some arguments in the industry about open source which I think is a waste of meaningful dialog space. I thought I will put out a post asking people to focus their valuable energy on a more meaningful discussion. This post might appear like a rant but it is not. […]

A Conversation on Open Cloud–Google+ Hangout

A Conversation on Open Cloud–Google+ Hangout

By Ben Kepes on September 4, 2012

The discussion around open versus closed in the cloud is reaching fever pitch but what does it all mean? Many people have but the loosest understanding of what open cloud means and the differences between open source, open clouds and federated clouds. I’m in the process of writing a paper

By Krishnan Subramanian on August 21, 2012

Intel, the portland based microprocessor vendor, is also a large enterprise IT user. They have large number of employees spread all over the world and they have various divisions including manufacturing.

Misconceptions About Federated Clouds

Misconceptions About Federated Clouds

By Krishnan Subramanian on August 13, 2012

As I promote the idea of federated clouds (previous CloudAve coverage), there seems to be some misconceptions among readers and other bloggers. 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 […]

Nope, Ben Is Wrong About What I Said And Open Source

By Krishnan Subramanian on August 7, 2012

Today Ben Kepes of Diversity Ltd. made a post about OpenStack. Without going into the merits of his post, I will like to address a paragraph where he quotes me. At OSCON recently, I joined Alex Williams of TechCrunch and Krishnan Subramanian from Cloudave to discuss the future of the cloud. We spent quite some […]
