open sauce
Different plastic squeezy bottle, but still tomato ketchup/sauce inside.

Let the cloud providers do a proprietry number on open source... not a problem. If I use it as intended, within the realms of the service I subscribe to, do I give a rats fig? No.

If it blows the SLA then there's hell to pay... but thats a service management issue, and it should be well understood before standing the salesmans Mont Blanc pen on the dotted line.

Would I throw my entire IT infrastructure to a 3rd-party cloud? No; never throw away your understanding of what IT your data is running on.
I wonder if the NSA uses Amazon EC2?

No
