Abstract:
The trends in cloud computing development have become fundamental building
blocks to many business information system models and innovations, the
architects are designing cloud systems to be as effective and beneficial as possible.
In this paradigm, open-source cloud platforms are part of the design philosophy
that drives innovation in cloud services. The adoption of open-source cloud has
become pervasive in the modern enterprise; this has been accelerated by
perceived benefits of openness. The power in the community of developers and
openness fosters development of hardened, secure and reliable solutions. These
features enable a collaborative source code, modification and customization
geared towards innovation with positive impact on the design, aligning perfectly
with the dynamic nature of open-source cloud solutions. However, the slow
adoption rate in the modern enterprises has been attributed to a lack of
understanding of open-source cloud adoption. This study explores the
determinants of open-source cloud adoption in the context of higher learning
institutions. A deductive thematic analysis technique was utilized in the study.
