I’ve always loved DYI stuff and yes, I’m still a McGyver fan too. While wandering for the net I stumbled upon an interesting article from developer.com: Building a test platform in the cloud with open source technologies. This quick and easy to read article guides the reader through some steps to create a self-made cloud computing test platform based on CentOS.

In my opinion the “cluod side” is the coolest one. It’s a nice demonstration of how we could exploit the power of the cloud, even if it’s a self-made one. Thanks to this article I also discovered the open source cloud computing platform Eucalyptus. I’m quietly new to cloud computing and I found useful the Eucalyptus short introduction to the cloud here.

Now let’s give me a pen, a hair and sticky tape and I’ll create the cloud!!
