The Cloud Computing Manifesto is a manifesto containing a "public declaration of principles and intentions" for cloud computing providers and vendors,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Cloud Computing Manifesto )〕 annotated as "a call to action for the worldwide cloud community" and "dedicated belief that the cloud should be open".〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Open Cloud Manifesto Google Group )〕 It follows the earlier development of the Cloud Computing Bill of Rights which addresses similar issues from the users' point of view.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Cloud Computing Bill of Rights )〕 The document was developed "by way of an open community consensus process"〔 in response to a request by Microsoft that "any 'manifesto' should be created, from its inception, through an open mechanism like a Wiki, for public debate and comment, all available through a Creative Commons license". Accordingly it is hosted on a MediaWiki wiki and licensed under the (CC-BY-SA 3.0 ) license.〔 The original, controversial version of the document called the ''Open Cloud Manifesto'' was sharply criticised by Microsoft who "spoke out vehemently against it" for being developed in secret by a "shadowy group of IT industry companies", raising questions about conflicts of interest and resulting in extensive media coverage over the following days.〔(Turf War Brewing Among Tech Firms Over Cloud Computing )〕 A pre-announcement commits to the official publication of this document on 30 March 2009 (in spite of calls to publish it earlier〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Microsoft Decries Cloud Computing Group's Lack Of Transparency )〕), at which time the identities of the signatories ("several of the largest technology companies and organizations" led by IBM along with OMG〔http://www.eweek.com/c/a/Cloud-Computing/Open-Cloud-Manifesto-Much-Ado-and-To-Do-876838/〕 and believed also to include Cisco, HP,〔 and Sun Microsystems〔(Microsoft expresses outrage at secret 'Cloud Manifesto' )〕) is said to be revealed. Amazon, Google, Microsoft and Salesforce.com are among those known to have rejected the document by declining to be signatories.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Amazon Web Services: No Open Cloud Manifesto for us )〕 The document was leaked by Geva Perry in a blog post on 27 March 2009 and confirmed to be authentic shortly afterwards. The authors of both public and private documents have agreed to "work to bring together the best points of each effort".〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Announcing the Cloud Computing Manifesto )〕 == Controversy == The ''Open Cloud Manifesto'' version, developed in private by a secret consortium〔〔(Microsoft Strikes Out Against 'Open Cloud Manifesto' )〕 of companies, was prematurely revealed by Microsoft's Senior Director of Developer Platform Product Management, Steve Martin on 26 March 2009. They claim that they were "privately shown a copy of the document, warned that it was a secret, and told that it must be signed 'as is,' without modifications or additional input", a point which is disputed by Reuven Cohen (originally believed to be the document's author).〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Microsoft pokes hole in 'cloud' manifesto )〕 Some commentators found it ironic that Microsoft should speak out in support of open standards〔(Thunder in the Cloud Over Openness ){}〕 while others felt that their criticism was justified, comparing it to the "long, ugly war over WS-I".〔(Out of Order )〕 The call for open cloud standards was later echoed by Brandon Watson, Microsoft's Director of Cloud Services Ecosystem.〔http://www.eweek.com/c/a/Cloud-Computing/Microsoft-Calls-for-Open-Cloud-Standards-538212/〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cloud Computing Manifesto」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
