New Release of Ubuntu Server Offers Amazon-Compatible Cloud
,----[ Quote ]
| The next iteration of Ubuntu Linux will really help companies lift up into
| the clouds.
|
| The April 30 release of Ubuntu Server will have the ability to migrate
| KVM-based virtual machines from one physical server to another, similar to
| VMware's ability to use VMotion to migrate virtual machines, said Steve
| George, director of the enterprise group at Linux supplier Canonical.

Cloud Computing and Linux - A Presentation
,----[ Quote ]
| When I have a presentation to give, I’m increasingly writing out my spiel
| (after drawing up the slides), which was the case with the talk I gave this
| morning at the Linux Foundation’s Collaboration Summit on Cloud Computing and
| Linux. Thing means for you, dear readers, there’s some meaty text to skim
| through instead of just boney slides. Also, this time I recorded a practice
| read-through of the talk which you could watch as well, below. I’m one of
| those people who never gives the same presentation twice, but you can get an
| idea of this mornings talk from one or both of the below:

An open letter to the community regarding "Open Cloud"
,----[ Quote ]
| I write this letter in order to be 100% transparent with you about a new
| initiative that could prove critical to the development of computing and the
| Internet: the protection of the term “Open Cloud” with a certification
| trademark (like British Standards’ Kitemark® and the FAIRTRADE symbol) as
| well as its definition via an open community consensus process.
|
| Cloud computing users will soon be able to rest assured that offerings
| bearing the “Open Cloud” brand are indeed “open” in that critical freedoms
| (such as the right to access one’s own data in an open format via an open
| interface) are strongly protected. It will also ensure a level playing field
| for all vendors while keeping the barriers to enter the marketplace low.
| Offerings also bearing the “Open Source” mark will have additional freedoms
| relating to the use, modification and distribution of the underlying software
| itself.

Cloudera CEO: Hadoop, Open Source and the Cloud
,----[ Quote ]
| But Cloudera has heavyweight backing. It has raised money from venture
| capital group Accel Partners (though admittedly only a tepid $5 million). And
| its array of additional investors reads like a list of tech glitterati,
| including Marten Mickos, former MySQL CEO, and Diane Green, former VMware
| CEO.

Cloudera floats commercial Hadoop distro
,----[ Quote ]
| The analogy with Linux is plain enough: They want something akin to the

Hadoop: Funny Name, Powerful Software
,----[ Quote ]
| Doug Cutting was a work-at-home dad plugging away at open source search code
| when he had a light-bulb moment that led him to create Hadoop, an open source
| adaptation of Google's MapReduce. Now, Yahoo is using Hadoop for all kinds of
| high-power computing functions.

Yahoo's Hadoop software transforming the way data is analyzed
,----[ Quote ]
| Cutting, a 44-year-old programmer who had helped build search engines at
| Apple and Excite, had started the search project in 2000 because he wanted
| his code to live on. He knew that closed-source projects, where software is
| treated as a corporate secret, had a way of dying. With open source, the code
| is published and other programmers can contribute suggestions and help fix
| bugs.

OpenSolaris Project: Hadoop Live CD
,----[ Quote ]
| Organizations routinely collect a huge amount of data, including web crawls,
| email messages, and scientific data. Processing these datasets with
| traditional relational database models or streaming algorithms is no longer
| scalable. A new data processing model, MapReduce, addresses this challenge by
| leveraging large clusters of hundreds or thousands of heterogeneous servers.

Hypertable Lead Discusses Hadoop and Distributed Databases
,----[ Quote ]
| At the time that we started on the project, an open source Bigtable
| implementation did not exist, so we decided to build it ourselves. The reason
| that we chose open source is because we felt that an open source
| implementation of Bigtable would be inevitable. By leading the development
| effort, we would have a leg up on the competition in terms of knowledge,
| expertise, and credibility.

Hip-hip-Hadoop!

| Just one more reason why the Microsoft-Yahoo merger, if it happens, will be

| Go[t] that? 10,000 core processors running GNU/Linux at the heart of Yahoo.
| Microsoft is damned if they do (rip and replace) and damned if they don't. Go
