Why OpenStack for IaaS
Why Infrastructure as a Service -> single, flexible foundation for multiple services App Catalog Infrastructure as a Service DIY IaaS Platform Virtualization + Automation & Orchestration
Why is OpenStack so compelling More performance than public cloud More security than public cloud Open source, no lock-in More flexible / agile (API) than typical private cloud More features than typical private cloud Scale size and speed than typical private cloud More cost effective than public or private cloud X Easier to design, operate & maintain
The Do-it-yourself OpenStack Cloud TIME VALUE IT Operations spends 75% of their time making OpenStack work. IT Operations spends 25% of their time Integrating Tool for Development Team Continuous Integration Configuration Management Collaboration Working Environment Source/Image Control
OpenStack is Hard Why? So we need an easy button! Companies want OpenStack features without the OpenStack complexities OpenStack is a Project, not a Product It s like a pile of Lego s
Idea? taking all the fun out of Lego! The Lego vs. OpenStack example does not reflect the real life: With Lego, all the fun is in building once completed, it is undergoing constant modifications Your Company wants a platform that is ready to run services and is easy to maintain
