openstack

I've been part of the OpenStack community for about two years (working for an OpenStack operator) and I've had nothing but good experiences.

No clue what that means for OpenStack, but it can't be good.

If you want to learn decent testing Openstack is a good example, the code as a whole not so much.

Observation: The OpenStack board is controlled by board seats which are mostly held by people employed with large publicly traded companies.

Working at an Openstack cofounder, I do have a lot of code deployed into an OpenStack cloud, and have written a lot of automation around the stack and APIs.

While working on an installer for OpenStack I came up with the idea of implementing federation with the blockchain.

Yes the OpenStack community isn't perfect (but I've heard the same thing about other communities, so meh).

OpenStack can do whatever the fuck it wants to, but it's not going to be enough to capture massive market share with consumer coders.

I've met Carl Perry several times at a couple of OpenStack summits and mid-cycle operator's meetups.

But in the middle there's an awful lot of mechanism required to run an IaaS and OpenStack is the only serious opensource contender around.

Our company manages the IaaS tier of IBM Cloud using OpenStack.

How many discussions does OpenStack's development team have about security?

Blaming Statement: Make no mistake, the companies who control OpenStack are "in it to win it".

Much like your ability to influence "Windows" is quite limited, your ability to influence "Openstack" is limited.

No one can run the mainline code, it’s a disaster, and OpenStack politics of the “Big Tent” are going to make that problem a lot worse.

Kubernetes is a much closer competitor to Openstack.
