CAMP: Will It Be Relevant?

By Krishnan Subramanian on September 4, 2012

Last week at CloudOpen 2012, a group of vendors in the platforms space announced a new set of specifications to help simplify management of applications in the public and private clouds.

Do We Need A Standardization Around Amazon APIs?

Do We Need A Standardization Around Amazon APIs?

By Krishnan Subramanian on February 17, 2012

Today there was a debate among the #clouderati about whether OpenStack should standardize their APIs around AWS APIs. Even though two years back I had an opinion that standardizing around AWS API will be good because of interoperability advantages, I have since changed my position and I now feel that it is too early to […]

Can Cloud vendors move beyond the terminology debate?

Can Cloud vendors move beyond the terminology debate?

By David Terrar on December 18, 2009

I recently mentioned Richard Messik’s great post castigating Cloud vendors on their jargon overload in the panel discussions at Softworld back in October.  Over on AccountingWEB there has been some vigorous debate around the Cloud issues in discussion threads on whether accountants should be talking to their clients about Cloud Computing, the business case for […]

Standards - The Opposing View

Standards – The Opposing View

By Ben Kepes on March 31, 2009

Eric posted yesterday looking at why the adoption of standards can be a bad thing. Rather than discussing his post in the context of the recent Cloud Computing Interoperability Forum debacle (I’m sure calling it a debacle will get people from both sides of the divide fired up – but you have to admit it […]

The Dangers of Early “Formalization”

The Dangers of Early “Formalization”

By Guest Authors on March 30, 2009

I won’t recount it here, mostly because – frankly – I can’t tell what’s actually going on there anymore. So and so said one thing, while thanking so and so, who declined to comment on three […]

The Pot Calling The Kettle Black

By Krishnan Subramanian on March 26, 2009

Image via CrunchBase Today, Steve Martin of Microsoft wrote a post criticizing the secrecy behind the development of Cloud Computing interoperability guidelines. He has attacked the attempts by some vendors who are trying to push interoperability guidelines. He has called for an open process instead of a closed approach, supposedly, taken by these vendors. The […]

Data Standards for Web Applications

Data Standards for Web Applications

By Guest Authors on March 3, 2009

While many despise WMA, DOC, MP3 and other proprietary formats the discussions about data formats used by web applications have been surprisingly silent. It is true that this is mainly because a lot of web applications offer XML export or offer an API for exporting data to other services. But as data formats in the […]

Image by via CrunchBase Recently, our guest author, Devan Sabaratnam, wrote about the shutting down of a service called I Want Sandy.
