Today saw the official announcement of OpenStack, an open source cloud platform from Rackspace. It basically consists of two parts (for now that is): object storage and a compute pack.

For now, all we get is early code of the compute pack. But just in terms of potential impact, OpenStack could actually be quite significant as it is aimed at a very broad industry base and it is completely open. So my question would be: could OpenStack be for the cloud that what the LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP/Perl/Python) stack was for application servers?

I know that there is at least one Microsoft member here, and it would be nice to know what this means for, say, Azure.
