Former Microsoft Open Source Maven Talks Up Cloud - Cloud Computing

  • Open and free are both crucial attributes in order for a market economy to grow.  There are many aspects of cloud computing but for the developers and users of cloud services, the atomic unit of the cloud is the API. In this world the free aspect isn’t typically interpreted as freedom, but as price. Freedom in the cloud, however, is more typically associated with data and your rights to move it from one service to another and this is a very important attribute. In the software industry open platforms have typically outperformed closed platforms in the long run due to the economies that develop on top of them, cementing those platforms’ place in a range of markets. Open APIs being used by many companies in the cloud are leading to increased usage and revenue due to new innovations by their partners and customers. Many companies are already doing this and seeing commercial success.
