This document discusses cloud use cases and OpenStack. It outlines several cloud use cases such as providing technical agility to businesses, rapid service deployment, elasticity, and flexibility. It also discusses key aspects of OpenStack including its layers (platform, virtual infrastructure, capacity management, etc.), distributions, and components (Nova, Swift, Neutron, etc.). Finally, it provides recommendations for jointly considering key factors between IT and business before deploying a private cloud such as aligning processes, defining self-service, selecting workloads, billing models, and driving adoption.
