What cloud providers are based more completely on free software than AWS? Aside from running your own cloud on your own hardware, I'm not aware of anything that is free software so I'm very curious what the better options are.
- rglullis 10y agoDoes Amazon provide source code so you can run your own S3, EC2, RDS, Cloudfront, IAM, etc, etc, etc on your own datacenter? They don't. They build their services on top of free software, but none of the services provided by AWS itself are free. OpenStack, on the other hand, is exactly that - a free software platform which gives no single "cloud provider" any kind of vendor lock-in whatsoever.
