Cloud vs SOA

What is Cloud Computing?
Customers to Vendors: You integrate Your products and give me a bundle to create a service.

What is SOA?
Vendors to Customers: Here is all my point products exposed as services(API) and You integrate my products to create Your service.

Summary:
It's the question of who is doing integration! The basis for web-services technologies are all about integration and is the reason it exists in both buzzword.

"Big Vacuum"

Today Oracle closes the Sun deal and "sunw/java" is history today. As a former Sun employee, i describe Sun as "brain power doing good things for last 3 decades".

Sure, many tech companies has brain power. Then many non-profit like Apache is doing good things. The unique thing about Sun is "both".

Here is some examples-
[1] Open workstations
[2] Solaris
[3] NFS
[4] Java
[5] ZFS

Sun changed the computing for-ever. Good bye independent Sun.

Summary:
A big vacuum is created in the computing industry today.
