This has been a huge part of my life over the past few weeks! This is my personal view.
WARNING: DON’T EXPECT THE ANSWER TO BE FOUND BELOW !!!
There are three basic approaches to this issue being aggressively discussed right now:
- “Standards Body” Approach
- “Adopt Proven Technology” Approach
- “Customer Driven” Approach
All three approaches have value and all three have their problems, including:
- Global agreement on standards could be a long process
- “Proven Technology” may mean “Proprietary Technology”
- Multiple industry customers could result in industry linked standards for cloud
So what is an embryonic industry to do? A hybrid of course !! Options include, but are not limited to:
- Release all details of a selected “Proven Technology” to industry and adopt as a basis for an open standard
- Embrace multiple standards each set optimized for industry ROI models
- “Interoperability Rating “ issued after standards body technical review
