Title: Over to you
Course: PEBL Cloud Computing > Section: Unit 9 - Open Source Support for Cloud

Over to you

The unit sheds light on open source tools that support cloud computing as well as providing information on the architecture of both open source and closed source tools. Open-source software has been popularised by the capability it offers software developers to extend features of existing software. Features of open source software can be built on by a wide community of engineers. Proprietary software, on the other hand, has restrictions on the extent to which the software can be altered by users. With the knowledge gained in this unit, you should be able to critique these two categories of tools, giving the pros and cons of each.

In this unit, you will be exposed to open-source tools that different providers offer.
