Hi hello eveyone¡¡
could anyone to help me with this text?
So we looked around and we thought, well, what we want to try to encourage is for this concept of portability between your own infrastructure, provider and between multiple providers. And we actually came up with what we call the three rules of happy cloud computing in honour of Isaac Asimov, which was (1) whatever I do I run on my own infrastructure, (2) easy switching between myself and a provider, (3) easy switching between providers. Now for this to happen you basically need three things: you need choice in providers, easy switching and standard outputs. I mean, that’s common in the electricity industry. So we looked at the infrastructure layout and the most prominent de facto standard was Amazon EC2. So our approach was to look for an open source implementation of that API and this was a group called Eucalyptus from the University College of Santa Barbara. And they’ve created a system which enables you to build your own private cloud which matches the Amazon EC2 API, and they do track the EC2 API as it changes. And they also include other services such as the storage equivalents, which are known as S3, and something called elastic block storage as well. And so we decided to take that system and bring it into the Ubuntu distribution. So that we’ve been working with them for about five months to make the process of installing, setting up and building your own private cloud fairly simple, because that way you can build your own cloud and it gives you the opportunity to go from your own to burst to a public cloud and to get comfortable with these concepts of cloud computing.
Which layer of the computer stack did Canonical (Wardley's company) decide to focus on?
Select one:
infrastructure layer
presentation layer
platform layer
application layer
I think the right answer is infrastructure but I ´am not sure:shock:
