The document discusses the anatomy of an open source cloud ecosystem. It explains that an open source cloud ecosystem involves open source software being delivered through cloud services, open source development being enabled by cloud computing models, and building clouds using open source infrastructure software. The cloud represents a shift from server-centric to application-centric computing. Open source communities can either build their own community clouds, support modifications on multi-tenant platforms, or choose infrastructure software wisely. Overall, open source and cloud computing improve each other rather than being competitive concepts.

ecosystem”?

3. It’s about three things...

services being a
way of delivering
open source
software to end
users.

a philosophy or

for the
engineering and
distribution of
software.
