Okay – this is easy… or is it?
Lots of people continue to perpetuate the idea that the AWS APIs are a de
facto standard, so we should just all move on about it. At the same time,
everybody seems to acknowledge the fact that Amazon has never ever indicated
that they want to be a true standard. Are we reallyIn fact, they have
played quite the coy game and kept silent luring potential competitors into a
false sense of complacency.
Amazon has licensed their APIs to Eucalyptus under what I and others broadly
assume to be a a hard and fast restriction to the enterprise private cloud
market. I would not be surprised to learn that the restrictions went further
– perhaps prohibiting Eucalyptus from offering any other API or claiming
compatibility with other clouds.
Amazon Has ZERO Interest in Making This Easy
Make no mistake – Amazon cares deeply about who uses their APIs ... (more)
You may have heard this term recently and wondered what it meant. When it
comes to security, everyone thinks of Firewalls, Proxies, IPS, IDS,
Honeypots, VPN devices, email security and even Web security, but most people

Enterprises often frustrate developers. Why do Enterprises always seem so
behind when it comes to the very latest technology? In particular, a trend we
are seeing is the continued struggle to marry Enterprise authentication with
the burgeoning world of REST APIs. Developers want to use REST, but
Enterprises need enterprise grade API security.
We think this problem will only worsen as Enterprises continue their rapid
adoption of APIs. It seems clear that SOAP, while capable of Enterprise grade
authentication through X.509 and SAML, will be left behind as the “Skinny
