Did NASA ditch OpenStack for Amazon?

Her blog mentioned some of the major projects that they are thinking to merge with cloud project, including an assignment at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory. As an initiative they have already uploaded 250,000 photos of planet Mars onto the Microsoft’s cloud computing platform, Windows Azure. This move heated NASA’s thoughts on cloud computing as it served more than 2.5 million data queries. Cuerton blogged "proving that the cloud can be a terrific way to reach and engage the public," seemingly impressed on the feedback.

What Cuerton blogged has made critics to think twice on NASA’s collaborators. Some of them report that NASA is thinking about a makeover in innovation partners. Some believe that NASA on the whole prefers OpenStack.
