  Open Source Cloud Computing with Eucalyptus and Ubuntu


==|  If you have concerns about spending money on experimenting or 
learning more about cloud computing, consider an open source solution. 
The Ubuntu server comes prepackaged with the latest open source cloud 
system, called Eucalyptus, which is *in many ways similar to Amazon EC2* 
and can help you learn cloud computing without spending any money. For 
example, if you want to learn how to configure a cloud solution for 
in-house experimentation or development, you can load the Ubuntu cloud 
server and get started right away. The following sequence of commands 
shows you an example of launching an instance in the Ubuntu cloud using 
the command-line tools.  |==
