What is the difference between NovaCloud and vCloud?
NovaCloud and vCloud are both cloud services, but they have some key differences. NovaCloud, powered by OpenStack, is a user-friendly and cost-effective public cloud service. On the other hand, vCloud, powered by VMware, can be used as a public or private cloud service, offering a broader range of features and enhanced security. However, it may be more complex to use compared to NovaCloud.
