What is Cloud Computing?
Wikipedia says..
Cloud computing is the delivery of computing as a service rather
than a product, whereby shared resources, software, and
information are provided to computers and other devices as a
utility over a network

Deployment Models
Public Clouds
A public cloud is one based on the standard cloud computing model, in which a
service provider makes resources, available to the general public
Private Clouds
Private cloud is infrastructure operated solely for a single organization, whether
managed internally or by a third-party and hosted internally or externally
Hybrid Clouds
Hybrid cloud is a composition of two or more clouds that are bound together though
unique, offering the benefits of multiple deployment models

What is Open Source?
OSI says...
Open source is a development method for software that harnesses
the power of distributed peer review and transparency of process.
The promise of open source is better quality, higher reliability, more
flexibility, lower cost, and an end to end predatory vendor lock-in.

45. Introduction Cloud Computing Open Source Cloud & OSS Tools Conclusion
Importance of Cloud Management
Cloud computing is not a magical solution
Cloud requires self-service capability
therefore should manage metering, monitoring, workload
management etc.
Performance should be measured and monitored
Even more important when companies rely on more than one cloud
service provider
