Last week, I wrote about the first of cloud computing’s revolutions: the revolution in IT operations. This week I want to turn to the revolution that will occur because of the changed nature of cost in a cloud computing environment. In the Berkeley RAD Lab report on cloud computing, it identifies “pay-as-you-go pricing” as a key characteristic of cloud computing. Pay-as-you-go pricing refers to the fact that computing resources in a cloud environment are typically charged for on a fine-grained usage basis.

In the low cost fosters experimentation perspective, cloud computing is much like open source
