Open source Cloud to new trend of cloud computing

There are many reasons why the cloud market is moving to open source. First of all we like to not be thankful for any single vendor's technical concept work. Second, we may be driving technological change to better meet our needs. Finally, the price of open source cloud is appropriate, more technology, the cost is very small.

The physical representation of open source cloud technology is distributed. Distributed is an example of open source cloud software, in addition to some additional value-added performance. In the cloud computing world, this characteristic software requires the creation of a private cloud, a public cloud, or a hybrid cloud. However, distributed may become a cloud management stack, a secure, based account, or other component that makes up the cloud.

However, open source cloud technology has drawbacks because you have been considering it in your technology selection process. For example, you need to understand the actual cost of deploying open source software compared to commercial products

In many instances, companies choose Open Source before they understand their actual business and technical needs. The use of open source cloud software consumes more cost than commercial versions, because the open source cloud may not be able to adapt well to specific cases.

This is where faith enters this technology. Companies often do 180-degree shifts that defy conventional logic.

So you need to ask a lot of questions from open source cloud technology providers to make sure you're not too busy to follow the wrong cloud beliefs. These problems may make your open source cloud provider a little uncomfortable.

Do you use this open source cloud technology to ensure mobility?

If your cloud vendor is honest with you, the answer is very real. "This is the open source cloud. Applications and data in one version will move from Port A to a to another distributed environment with the same standard, and now it's a bit sci-fi. Current cloud standards are fragmented, and porting between cloud providers is difficult to implement. Eventually, the problem will be solved, but we don't know when it will work out.

Will this cloud product appear within five years?

The right answer is "who knows?" Even if you are talking to big cloud mills with large sums of money, the reality is that the market is evolving. Venture capital is very fast, and most of them are open source cloud companies. Sooner or later things will normalize.

A smaller enterprise with a successful product will be merged or lost with a large company. In some cases, the products offered by large manufacturers are considered useless and will be canceled or pushed into the public domain. This is a problem in both open source and commercial markets, but open source is growing faster.

Can I help drive cloud standards?

The correct answer is "If you have enough time and cost." "To a large extent, the technology provider drives the standard, not the end user." The reality is that these companies are a loosely coupled technology company that comes together to provide a solid argument for using their technology first and then the standard.

If you are entering a mix of committees, the open source community will be warmly welcomed. However, you have to have enough influence to survive in the game that drives change, and you need to follow the technology provider's non-stop meetings, and that will be enough time. The bigger you are, the more money you spend, the more words you will have in the cloud standard world.
