ETSI SR 003 382 V2.1.1 (2016-02) - Cloud Standards Coordination Phase 2; Cloud Computing Standards and Open Source; Optimizing the relationship between standards and Open Source in Cloud Computing

he present report presents the results of the analysis of the relationship between Standards and Open Source in the context of Cloud Computing. In February 2015, the Cloud Standards Coordination Phase 2 (CSC-2) was launched by ETSI to address issues left open after the Cloud Standards Coordination Phase 1 (CSC-1) work was completed at the end of 2013. Cloud Standards Coordination Phase 2 is investigating some specific aspects of the Cloud Computing standardization landscape, in particular from the point of view of the Cloud Computing users (e.g. SMEs, Administrations). It will also generate a new snapshot regarding the state of standards and investigate the interaction and relation between standardization and Open Source based software and solutions.
