Yahoo Is Planning To Open- Source All Its Internal Cloud Serving Platforms

Yahoo plans to make some changes to its cloud serving programs by placing all of them into open-source by early next year. Yahoo has this service which is simply called “Cloud” that can be described as a cross-breed of Google App Engine and Amazon’s Elastic Compute Cloud.

Yahoo Cloud is an computing infrastructure that service all online applications of Yahoo and offers Yahoo’s internal developers with on-demand access to Yahoo’s computing resources. Unlike Amazon’s EC2, Yahoo Cloud frees developers of load-balancing task by spinning up the “containers” of server power which are pre- configured for security and load-balancing.

Additionally, Yahoo is also plans to open-source all of its back-end platforms by early 2011. This will place Yahoo on a different note with Google which keeps its custom-built back-end platform to itself and Amazon’s EC2 . Yahoo previously has put its Hadoop distributed number crunching which it used for search web maps and other tasks also as its Traffic server for handling edge caching, processing and load balancing.
