Standardization comes to the Cloud?

Cloud computing has done wonderful things for making web-based applications easy to deploy and scale. But, if your company's infrastructure runs on Amazon's EC2 or on Microsoft's Azure platforms, it's non-trivial to migrate that deployment to another service provider. Each offers a different deployment mechanism, different features, and a different set of challenges. In the cloud today, there really isn't any notion of standardization, and therefore, there's no real interoperability. OpenStack wants to change that.
