10. What is OpenStack?
10
• OpenStack is an open source infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) cloud platform
• Jointly founded in July 2010 by Rackspace and NASA with merger of two
projects: Swift and Nova
• OpenStack is the single largest open source solution in history
• Surrounding this project is a massive ecosystem of vendors, many of whom
offer a distribution of OpenStack and added services to facilitate adoption

11. Fastest Growing Global Open
Source Community
1. Enormous growth in all
parts of the ecosystem –
In February 2014,
Forrester said
“OpenStack would
become a new de facto
IaaS cloud standard by
