Like many readers of this blog I had, of course, heard of Eucalyptus; the project to provide an open source Cloud infrastructure that behaves a lot like Amazon’s Elastic Compute Cloud.

Until I had the opportunity to hear Project Director Rich Wolski speak enthusiastically at TTI/Vanguard in San Diego last month, I hadn’t realised that ‘Eucalyptus’ was actually an acronym. My pride at having contorted words to arrive at PORTAL as the name of a project studying institutional portals took a severe knock!

Keen to share some of Rich’s insight and experience with a wider audience, I was delighted when he agreed to participate in one of my ongoing series of Cloudy podcasts, and the result has just been released.
