 * [http://appscale.cs.ucsb.edu/ appscale] - Open Cloud Platform for Google AppEngine Apps 
  * Google AppEngine (GAE) 的自由軟體版 - 好像有違反 Google 授權的爭議
  * 由加州聖塔芭芭拉分校(UCSB)的 RACELab 維護，可以跑在 Amazon EC2 跟 Eucalyptus 上，支援 Xen 與 KVM 的虛擬化底層。
  * 技術報告: [http://www.cs.ucsb.edu/~ckrintz/papers/appscale2009-02TR.pdf AppScale: Scalable and Open AppEngine Application Development and Deployment]

 * 最近美國政府單位的網雲平台足見成形，唉～國科會卻只會補助"微軟 only"的計畫～失望中～

Google即將通過聯邦資訊安全管理法案(Federal Information Security Management Act, FISMA)的IT安全要求認證。
有了 FISMA 認證及 SAS 70 稽核標準，就不用各別政府機關都來和 Google 談不同的規定。

 * 目前 Hadoop 兩本英文書：

 * [http://www.cascading.org/ Cascading] is a feature rich API for defining and executing complex, scale-free, and fault tolerant data processing workflows on a Hadoop cluster.
  * 定義資料處理工作流程的函式庫

 * [http://wiki.apache.org/hadoop/Chukwa Chukwa] is an open source data collection system for monitoring and analyzing large distributed systems. 
  * 最近把 Ganglia 架起來，再看到 Cloudera 的兩篇 [http://www.cloudera.com/blog/2009/03/12/hadoop-metrics/ Ganglia] 和 [http://www.cloudera.com/blog/2009/07/07/hadoop-graphing-with-cacti/ Cacti] 相關的文章，大概比較能理解 Chukwa 這個專案要處理的事情應該頗為類似。比較特殊的是它要處理的是 500 至 2000 台節點的 Log 分析。
  * [http://wiki.apache.org/hadoop-data/attachments/Chukwa/attachments/ChukwaPoster.pdf Chukwa Poster] (PDF) - 設計得蠻乾淨的，可以當做 SC'09 Poster 的參考。
