Java, a waste of resources?   What is this, 1996?

Eucalyptus looks very promising, although all that java looks like a waste of resources. I'd also be interested in hearing peoples experiences with the platform.

Noah,
i suppose you meant "AMI", not "API". AMI is short for Amazon Machine
Image, and yes, Amazon uses Xen.
From my personal, unofficial perspective, Eucalyptus is an interesting
project, but it doesn't have much sense if you don't face lock-in
policies. You could need Eucalyptus if, for example, the cloud
provider was not using an open source hypervisor, such as Vmware. In
those cases, migrating your IT infrastructure is more expensive,
because you need to re-engineer most services. Data, instead, is
always accessible from any cloud provider so far.

Cheers,

Simone
