The Open Cloud Manifesto headed by IBM landed without big names. Microsoft, Amazon, Google and Salesforce.com were not there to support a document that claims to be a “call to action for the worldwide cloud community”. However, It was backed by names like VMware, Sun Microsystems, Red Hat, Cisco and Novell.
Steven Martin leaked details about the project last week, and complained about being “disappointed by the lack of openness in the development of the Cloud Manifesto”.
Amazon has issued a similar negative statements like.
“Like other ideas on standards and practices, we’ll review this one, too. Ideas on openness and standards have been talked about for years in web services. And, we do believe standards will continue to evolve in the cloud computing space”
In reality, IBM is vigorously trying to beat Microsoft by asking the software giant to sign up a document of dedicated belief that the cloud should be open. Similarly, Amazon, Google and Salesforce.com seem reluctant in accepting IBM’s believes and ideas.
Many of the manifesto's supporters are expected to be there to talk about shaping cloud standards for the future. And, interestingly, even though Microsoft has made the loudest noises about why it has no intention of signing on the dotted line, the company still plans to attend the event.
