Importance Of OpenStackAn Outsider Perspective
What am I going to talk?
Role of OSS in Cloud Computing Conventional Wisdom Debunking Conventional Wisdom Federation Is Key Cloud Wisdom Debunking Cloud Wisdom Open Source as an enabler of Federation Why OpenStack is important
Why I am talking here?
• Because I am an analyst
• 30000 feet view• No emotions
(Ideally)• Activist analyst?• Competitive market
is key
Open Source: Building Blocks For Cloud
Web Sites to Web Services to Cloud: Open Source Is The Enabler
License Freedom Economics Imagine AWS without OSS
Conventional Wisdom
• Mostly western pundits
• Economics of scarcity
• C O N S O L I D A T I O N
Meh
Why CW Worked?
Market was mostly US Forced to believe in the economics
of scarcity Open source was relatively new Barrier to entry for non-software
products was very high
Debunking Conventional Wisdom
World is flat and markets are global Global Investors making local play Handful of providers cannot meet
diverse needs Regulatory regimes are not going away Open source enlightenment
New Conventional Wisdom
Economics of abundance Open source showed the way Innovation and monetization at higher
orders Technology is pushing the markets towards
this trend Competition is key for the market system to
be successful
Federated Clouds
Conventional Wisdom(Economics of Scarcity)
Open Source Thinking(Economics of Abundance)
Federated Clouds
Federated Clouds as antidote against market monopoly
Federated clouds can meet global needs including regulatory requirements
Scalability? No worries. Federation can help Key for the Big Data world Different economics
Defining Federated Cloud Ecosystems
Multitude of players Heterogeneity of cloud platforms Interoperability and Portability No vendor lock-in Geographical distribution
Multitude of players
Central to the very idea of federated clouds
Datacenters are not turning into football fields
Critical to protect against market vulnerability - monopoly
Community Clouds and Regional Clouds
Heterogeneity of Cloud Platforms
Federation is possible with just one platform but
Shifts the danger of market vulnerability to the platform than the provider
Monopoly is bad even if it is open source Heterogeneity handles diversity Complex Adaptive Systems & Heterogeneous
Environments
Interoperability and Portability
Interoperability and Workload portability are critical
Needed to avoid any lock-inDon’t care about
standardization at this moment
Geographical Distribution
Geographical distribution is key Requirement for multiple providers
not enough Needs are diverse (performance,
customization, etc.) Regulatory needs
Tim O’ Reilly School Of Thought
Architecture Triumphs Licensing
Focus on Interfaces and Formats
Open Cloud Initiative
Open Cloud = No Vendor Lock In Open Cloud = Open Interfaces &
Open Formats But Weird Requirement: At least one
of the implementation should be open source
What #OCI Can Achieve?
It Can Avoid Vendor Lock-In Help You Ensure Business
Continuity
But, But, But ………
But?
It Doesn’t Actually Help Users Much
Why?
The “nature” of markets will lead to smaller number of players
Apple Mantra
Less Choice Is Good, Right?
Ya Think?
So
Open Source and Federation are key to enable a competitive
marketplace
Why Open Source?
Federation != Open Source
Why Open Source?
Why OpenStack Is Important?
First truly OSS Cloud Infrastructure project to gain widespread traction
Distributed architecture enables next gen services
Vibrant ecosystem Both enterprise and service provider
focus
Conclusion
Open Source = Rapid Innovation Federation = Competitive Cloud
Marketplace Open Source enables easy federation
and plays a role in keeping the market honest
OpenStack is critical
