[one-users] CY12-Q3 Community Analysis — OpenStack vs OpenNebula vs Eucalyptus vs CloudStack

[christopher barry]

John,

I'll actually start a *new* thread with this, rather than trailing onto
another completely unrelated thread... maybe it'll help with your
analysis methodology.

While I appreciate your attempt to help others by providing some metrics
around the existing cloud ecosystem, I'm not sure it really helps anyone
coming into the space make any informed decisions about which of the
many projects out there would be best for them, and in fact may possibly
inadvertently mislead them.

[[ "${quality}" == "${quantity}" ]] && {
	echo "report is relevant"
}

I think there's a lot more about the underlying technology and
architecture that's missing from this analysis. For instance;

* how does it measure people who are NOT having issues with their
deployments?

* how does it measure the quickness in which an issue gets resolved?
It's likely (here anyway) one OpenNebula engineer responds to a question
within minutes and corrects the issue.

* how does it measure the end-user extensibility of the product? If the
entire product is written in Java, how end-user accessible is that,
broadly speaking, for modification to fit a particular need?

By applying the primary metrics of this report, the Chevy Vega would
probably appear to be a better car than the BMW 5-series, or that
Lindsey Lohan is somehow more important than the dangers of Nuclear
power.

If the layout, organization, and readability of just this page alone:

http://cloudstack.org/software/features.html

is indicative of the care and craftsmanship put into the actual product,
then I rest my case...

Hi,

I have just finished my blog entry "CY12-Q3 Community Analysis — 
OpenStack vs OpenNebula vs Eucalyptus vs CloudStack", which provides a 
lot of details on how these four projects are doing in terms of 
community activies. The article contains a lot of graphs, and I don't 
want to spam everybody's mailbox. It is accessible from my blog at the 
following URL:

Best regards,

Qingye Jiang (John)
