К вопросу "Облака и СПО"

Михаил Козлов написал к посту "Облака и СПО" (http://cloudclub-ru.blogspot.com/2010/08/blog-post.html)
коммментарий, который почему-то в блоге не прописался (я узнал про него из полученного уведомления). Впервые сталкивают с такой ситуацией :-(
Поэтому воспроизвожу это текст (это фрагмент из публикации в eWeek):

Black Duck: Open-Source Projects Drive Cloud Computing: http://www.eweek.com/c/a/Cloud-Computing/Black-Duck-Open-Source-Projects-Drive-Cloud-Computing-260244/?kc=EWKNLCLD08262010STR3


The Black Duck analysis shows a 70 percent growth from 2008 to 2009 in projects specifically associated with cloud computing. These cloud-specific, open-source projects account for nearly 50 million lines of code, the company said. Cloud environments referenced by the projects show Amazon Web Services as the leading environment, followed by Microsoft's Windows Azure, Google App Engine, and Force.com.

"In the wake of the financial crisis of the past 18-24 months and as enterprise IT application developers re-architect applications for cloud environments, they are turning to open-source software for its low cost, availability and breadth of possible solutions," said Melinda-Carol Ballou, program director for Application Life-Cycle Management & Executive Strategies at IDC, in a statement. "Open source's low barriers to entry and abundance offer significant time-to-market advantages and make it an emerging and important element of cloud development strategies for enterprise developers. At the same time, organizations must put in effective open-source assessment and management capabilities to leverage it as part of a complex software sourcing strategy for the cloud and for other environments."

Мне кажется, что тут сказаны довольно очевидные вещи. Рост на 70% числа Cloud-проектов, учитывая почти-нулевую исходную базу, не очень впечатляет (хотя заставляет задуматься, что пора бы и нам...)
Ну, а то, что Open Source снижает планку для разработчиков -- это тоже известно.
