Maybe Amazon's API will end up a de facto standard. Eucalyptus is cloud-management sotware that tries to match Amazon’s EC2 API: http://lwn.net/Articles/330872/ .

Stay tuned for debates on the "private cloud" versus the "public cloud". I think that it will soon be possible to offer small/mid-sized organizations the ability to have "cloud computing" right inside their own networks -- so that they don't have to worry about their data off in the sky somewhere... but they get some of the same datacenter-style benefits. Larger organizations are already doing this with virtual server farms, and I see that technology moving downstream in a big way. I wrote this piece that isn't quite so flattering to cloud computing as it stands right now for the small/mid-sized business.... if you are into a counter-opinion... it is in the news section of my website... www.optimalnetworks.com. thanks for the info, Joanna! I love this blog :-) Good points, Joanna!
