The Open Source Cloud is here and another homerun for the Open Source
community. OpenStack Diablo is a Quantum Leap for Open Source Cloud.

OpenStack has been criticized by some as "the consortium of people who can't
figure out how to compete with Amazon Web Services on their own." Well, they
are half-right.

Now all those who wanted to dabble and expand their knowledge into the Cloud
have a low cost place to start. Here is a perfect place to run a small (or
large) set of travelling applications from; imaging, backups, structure data
storage, user access control, etc.
