Well articulated description of the “Cloud” and the different vendors. To add further, customers can choose various vendors based upon their application or Infrastructure requirements. WOLF is one of the emerging Cloud based business application development & delivery platform developed using open standards and Microsoft .NET stack on a pay-per-use model.

Google App Engine can also run Java as well as Ruby on Rails via JRuby which is a Java TM implementation of the Ruby interpreter. With JRuby in a sense you get the best of both worlds, i.e. Ruby libraries plus Java libraries which can be accessed using either Ruby or Java language. Check out: http://jruby-rack.appspot.com/

Thank you for the interesting article, and all the additional links to other interesting articles. Does anyone know if there are plans for cloud-based eCommerce software such as dashcommerce, or osCommerce? I look forward to seeing which one of the above mentioned players will establish itself as the go-to company for businesses.

Yes, a good point.

With VMware vCloud – the answer is obviously we don’t know yet, but I would imagine that they are doing as much as they can to have Windows licensing agreement struck with Microsoft. Linux should obviously be OK anyways.

Microsoft is Windows only and not likely to change soon.

Amazon is Windows and Linux.

And for Google the question is really not applicable as they are offering APIs much higher up the stack and do not let you work on OS level at all.

Operating system support could have been included.
Like whether it supports instances like Linux, Windows and so on.

[...] They are still pretty far from having that firmed up, but one thing that all of the cloud services highlights is as you start to take pieces of an application that are normally hosted in the same data center and then scatter them into the cloud, it will be very difficult to manage QoS between nodes. It will be interesting to see how they address this when/if componentized services hosted in the cloud gain decent adoption. I found an interesting article that discusses the different features in each cloud service offering.
