Deploying a successful cloud is a function of the capabilities of both the virtualization layer and the cloud orchestration platform. In this deck, presented at the annual Deep Dive Day hosted by the Boston Virtualization User Group (virtg.com), I covered CloudStack 4.3 and OpenStack Havana. The deck doesn't seek to define a "best" option, but to provide the information data center architects and system administrators require regardless of preference for KVM, XenServer, vSphere or Hyper-V.
