Cloudifying source code repositories
Michael Siegenthaler, Hakim Weatherspoon · ACM SIGOPS Operating Systems Review · 2010
Cloud computing provides us with general purpose storage and server hosting platforms at a reasonable price. We explore the possibility of tapping these resources for the purpose of hosting source code repositories for individual projects as well as entire open source communities. An analysis of storage costs is presented, and a complete hosting solution is built and evaluated as a proof-of-concept.
