16. The Future of Cloud Computing Guidelines for the growth of an open cloud o Open Cloud Manifesto (2009) guidelines: Providers must work together and collaborate Providers must not lock subscribers into its platform, removing freedom of choice Providers should reduce repetition of standards Any changes to standards should be driven by the needs of the subscriber, not the provider Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.
