Dynamo, sounds like Seti maybe?
Dynamo, or Amazon’s attempt at group computing sounds very interesting. You can read the actual post here. The first question is haven’t groups like Seti and others been doing this for some time? Grant it, Seti’s mission is to mobilize the computers for interplanetary exploration and computing power, but the jist is still the same.
Dynamo is not an alternative to S3, Amazon’s publicly-available data storage service,
I never would have made that assumption. Even though I don’t agree with it being labeled as a WebOS, I would rather term it as taking the power we have and taking it up a notch.
The race to create a Web operating system is heating up. It is such a huge undertaking that there are only a few companies—Amazon, Google, Microsoft, Yahoo, IBM— that can tackle it.
That race may be on, but I don’t think Amazon is about to try to re-invent the OS. I think this is more as stated in the first paragraph:
Dynamo is internal technology developed at Amazon to address the need for an incrementally scalable, highly-available key-value storage system. The technology is designed to give its users the ability to trade-off cost, consistency, durability and performance, while maintaining high-availability.
Technically Speaking, still doesn’t sound anything like WebOS to me.
