What is OpenStack?

OpenStack is open source software to build private, public and hybrid clouds.

Mission Statement:

“To produce the ubiquitous open source cloud computing platform that will meet the needs of public and private cloud providers regardless of size, by being simple to implement and massively scalable.”

Signs of Growth

• Summit attendance doubles every six months

• Rackspace code contributions increase, but load share decreases

• Mainstream deployments increasing

• Adopting companies increasing

• Grassroots user groups and meetups

• Number of countries where deployed

• Feature expansion and maturation

Freedom

“The cloud provides you with the freedom to be remarkable.”

- Alan Perkins

OpenStack takes this freedom to the next level



Utility computing

• Allow safe, multitenant access

• Seamlessly interconnect private resource pools with public ones
