"Book Review From An OS Doooot" - by Alex Karasulu on 26-JAN-2012
Reviewer Rating: 1 star rating2 star rating3 star rating4 star rating5 star rating
Overall it's a very nice view into the OS world of cloud computing projects. The points made in the book are right on about the need for open cloud solutions. The topics are good minus a few chapters on rather less than main stream OS projects like CLAUDIA and CLEVER which seem to be systems and projects the authors were close to in their University contact network.

The big loss comes from NOT having solid chapters on OpenStack, Eucalyptus, and oVirt.
