Listen to the podcast:
Show Notes:
So after another very long break, we're back with show #13. This time our guest is Krishnan Subramanian who writes for CloudAve and can be found on Twitter as @krishnan.
In this show we discuss the topic of the LAMP Cloud, which Geva started off in a GigaOm post, Who Will Build the LAMP Cloud?, and James responded to with Does cloud computing need LAMP?. In an indirectly related post, Krish wrote about the Relevance of Open Source in a Cloud Based World, so we invited him to join us in a conversation about the LAMP cloud: Does it make sense? Who needs it? And what's the role of open source software in the world of cloud computing?
We also talk about the adoption of Platform-as-a-Service and other topics.
Some of the companies, products and technologies mentioned in this podcast include: Amazon, Zend, Google App Engine, PHPFog, Salesforce.com, Engine Yard, Heroku and Microsoft Azure.
Follow us on Twitter: @jamesurquhart, @gevaperry
Thank you for this wonderful conversation. PHP Fog is building the service you guys are talking about exactly. Contact us directly for more information ([email protected]). I would love to talk with you guys about the vision.

Listening to the question about, what happens when the user can't modify the stack, something struck me. Really, what you're talking about here harks back to the shared hosting environment. Plenty of people use shared hosting with a control panel, because they can't be bothered with keeping up their own platform. Unfortunately, shared hosting only scales so far, so eventually people, when deploying dedicated servers or VPS's, are required to either manage the entire stack themselves or pay for managed hosting.
What you've got here with PAAS, is the ability to let people treat their hosting environment as a shared hosting service, even once their needs scale beyond what typical shared hosting offers. As such, people who are already managing their own servers, managing their own stack, are really not the target users here. In any shared hosting environment, you've got some users who want the platform upgraded to support software version xyz, and this will be no different.
So really it shouldn't be thought of this PAAS thing taking over dedicated hosting / colo customers and limiting their choices, it should be seen as taking shared hosting to the next level, allowing people who really don't want to run dedicated servers to continue on a shared hosting model beyond a typical shared hosting level of usage.
Just my 2 cents on that issue.

There was a serious disconnect. State air officials approved the use of Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether or MTBE full-time in the mid-nineties in California, to add oxygen to gasoline to help it burn cleaner. But, they didn't coordinate with state water officials to consider the potential damage to our water supplies. Once the MTBE, a suspected carcinogen, started turniasdfng up in wells with its turpentine taste and smell, the state finally banned it at the end of 2003.
