Cloud Computing ----very cloudy

Dusting off my clustering skills after a hiatus of two years (had worked on building a cluster for nutch back then), i am starting work on a eucalyptus (open.eucalyptus.com) cloud on rocks cluster...

The definition of cloud computing is one cloud but i would still like to re-emphasize the utility of a level of abstracion and isolation on various levels like memory,cpu etc etc (one more definition to the trash)

will keep posted on the happenings as i go along...

A cloud service has three distinct characteristics that differentiate it from traditional hosting. It is sold on demand, typically by the minute or the hour; it is elastic -- a user can have as much or as little of a service as they want at any given time; and the service is fully managed by the provider (the consumer needs nothing but a personal computer and Internet access). Significant innovations in virtualization and distributed computing, as well as improved access to high-speed Internet and a weak economy, have accelerated interest in cloud computing.
