[Beowulf] Cloud Computing (WAS Clustering VPS servers)

[Jonathan Aquilina]

That is what the EU is trying to do in regards to the security issue of the
cloud. They are also working on creating a European Cloud.

If you like I can fish out the memo that they had sent out if you fancy a
read on what the EU is doing.

Yes !!!

And what if your data is legal in one jurisdiction traverses a region where
that data is illegal?  Think privacy/health/etc.

I wrote a bunch of posts about these issues over the years.  Links below.

Not astroturfing, we don't advertise on the blog, so there is absolutely no

and others.  You have to be worried about where your data is stored, what
you are computing with it.  No single provider can provide you with
everything.  You *need* multiple providers.  And getting a common API would
be wonderful.
