Opposing Camps Ground Cloud API Standard
Will we ever see a common Cloud API standard? Or is this a fanciful notion? Currently, there seems to be several camps in the Cloud Computing world. One camp believes in a full open environment, where a community of developers work towards a common goal. Another camp believes in a closed environment, where each vendor creates their own so-called standards and customers determine which vendor solution to use. There's even a third camp emerging, which is a hybrid of the other two. Under this hybrid arrangement, a select group of developers work on the core environment while other developers seek a common goal using an open environment.
