DESCRIPTION
In this talk I propose open source and cloud federation as key drivers for a competitive cloud marketplace.

Open Source and Federa.on Key Drivers For Compe//ve Marketplace
What am I going to talk?
§ Role of OSS in Cloud Compu/ng § Conven/onal Wisdom § Debunking Conven/onal Wisdom § Federa/on Is Key § Cloud Wisdom § Debunking Cloud Wisdom § Open Source as an enabler of Federa/on § Examples and Conclusion
Why I am talking here?
• Because I am an analyst
• 30000 feet view • No emo/ons (Ideally)
• Ac/vist analyst? • Compe//ve market is key
Open Source: Building Blocks For Cloud
§ Web Services to Cloud: Open Source Is The Reason
§ License Freedom § Economics § Imagine AWS without OSS
Conven.onal Wisdom
• Mostly western pundits
• Economics of scarcity
• C O N S O L I D A T I O N
Meh
Why CW Worked?
§ Market was mostly US § Forced to believe in economics of scarcity
§ Open source was rela/vely new § Barrier to entry for non-‐soRware products was very high
Debunking Conven.onal Wisdom
§ World is flat and markets are global § Global Investors making local play § Handful of providers cannot meet diverse needs
§ Regulatory regimes are not going away § Open source enlightenment
New Conven.onal Wisdom
§ Economics of abundance § Open source showed the way § Innova/on and mone/za/on at higher orders
§ Technology is pushing the markets towards this trend
§ Compe//on is key for the market system to be successful
Wait A Second!!
Take a look at the shared
hos/ng landscape
Federated Clouds
Conven/onal Wisdom (Economics of Scarcity)
Open Source Thinking (Economics of Abundance)
Federated Clouds
§ Federated Clouds is an an/dote for market monopoly
§ Federated clouds can meet global needs including regulatory requirements
§ Scalability? No worries. Federa/on can help § Key for the Big Data world § Different economics
Defining Federated Cloud Ecosystems
§ Mul/tude of players § Heterogeneity of cloud plaZorms § Interoperability and Portability § No vendor lock-‐in § Geographical distribu/on
Mul.tude of players
§ Central to the very idea of federated clouds
§ Datacenters are not turning into football fields
§ Cri/cal to protect against market vulnerability, monopoly
§ Community Clouds and Regional Clouds
Heterogeneity of Cloud PlaKorms
§ Federa/on is possible with just one plaZorm but
§ ShiRs the danger of market vulnerability to the plaZorm than provider
§ Monopoly is bad even if it is open source § Heterogeneity handles diversity § Complex Adap/ve Systems & Heterogeneous Environments
Interoperability and Portability
§ Interoperability and Workload portability are cri/cal
§ Needed to avoid any lock-‐in § Don’t care about standardiza/on at this moment
Geographical Distribu.on
§ Geographical distribu/on is key § Requirement for mul/ple providers not enough
§ Needs are diverse (performance, customiza/on, etc.)
§ Regulatory needs
Tim O’ Reilly School Of Thought
§ Architecture Triumphs Licensing
§ Focus on Interfaces and Formats
Open Cloud Ini.a.ve
§ Open Cloud = No Vendor Lock In § Open Cloud = Open Interfaces & Open Formats
§ But Weird Requirement: At least one of the implementa/on should be open source
What #OCI Can Achieve?
§ It Can Avoid Vendor Lock-‐In § Help You Ensure Business Con/nuity
But, But, But ………
But?
§ It Doesn’t Actually Help Users Much
Why? § The “nature” of markets will lead to smaller number of players
Apple Mantra
Less Choice Is Good, Right?
Ya Think?
So
Open Source and Federa/on are key to enable a compe//ve
marketplace
Why Open Source?
Federa/on != Open Source
Why Open Source?
Examples
§ IaaS: Eucalyptus, CloudStack, OpenStack, etc.
§ PaaS: CloudFoundry, OpenShiR, Brooklyn Project, Cloudify, etc.
Disclosure: Vmware, RedHat, CloudSoR, Cloudify sponsors of DeployCon 2012
Open Source in ac.on
Tier 3, Uhuru SoRware,
Ac/veState and AppFog’s use of CloudFoundry
Disclosure: Tier 3 (also client), Ac/veState & AppFog
were sponsors of DeployCon 2012
Conclusion
§ Open Source = Rapid Innova/on § Federa/on = Compe//ve Cloud Marketplace
§ Open Source enables easy federa/on and plays a role in keeping the market honest
One more thing (fortunately, Apple didn’t patent this)
Yes, Open Source is Important
If you agree with me, please tweet Hey @samj, open source is cri2cal for open
cloud #oci
If you are not convinced, please tweet Hey @krishnan, E N O U G H #oci
