About Cloud And The Lamp

LAMP is a set of open-source technology widely used on the web (ie : Linux, Apache Tomcat, MySQL, and PHP / Python / Perl). The big question is already being raised in the international blogosphere is : Who will be the first to develop a specific LAMP server interface for Cloud Hosting?

Currently the wheel all these cloud computing services in Classic mode, as dedicated servers, bringing total control, but also the configuration is identical to a dedicated server, fully manual, although the super elasticity of the hardware.

Platforms designed to cloud, beyond the layer of elastic Infrastructure ( IaaS ), an operating system can use the resources directed this elastic environment with even more performance, but who 's open-source scenario will create the first Platform as a Service ( PaaS ) offering a whole new environment that hides the operational challenges of running applications on the cloud, which is compatible with current technologies.

Salesforce / VMware arrive with version VMForce JAVA, Microsoft Azure is focused on . NET and some start- ups like Engine Yard Rails bring initiatives, but these technologies do not support applications based on LAMP.

Who is closer function is Zend Technologies, the creators of PHP, which announced investments of nine million dollars. Also Google with App Engine, which supports Python and MySQL support until the end of the year, but that might change the focus to Java.

But just as one goes along with a IaaS PaaS designed (not adjusted) for cloud, the duo PHP and MySQL can be replaced by other technologies more attractive to the cloud, like Ruby and NoSQL that we talked about. But a future in which the operating system layer, the need for management, not confront the user and offer all the versatility of the cloud, is also coming.

So, times are changing, the structures and also with them the language, and the options for developers, a good argument for the world of open source going forward, and proprietary software also will change according to the time. Although the dedicated servers are known to be the best solution for large organizations, but as time is changing and the more cloud supportive technologies are getting developed, soon the cloud will be the king in the hosting industry.
