3. What is OpenStack?
OpenStack began in 2010 as an open-source cloud-software
framework, to create an abstraction to expose Infrastructure
as a Service on commodity hardware
OpenStack’s modular architecture provides choice in vendor,
giving organizations the flexibility to swap out hardware and
components without altering how the platform is accessed or
managed
Many public clouds implement OpenStack to attract
customers, as they can reuse their existing processes and
workloads
5. What Does This Allow You To Do?

Macro level - Embracing the cloud has been difficult for Enterprises – because there are so many facets to cloud, for eg we have Infra, Platform and Software as a Service, all complex and variant in there own right.
Current & Predictive Stats re Hybrid Cloud Usage
As these IT resources are shifting to the Cloud enterprises are dealing with new complexities and lack of visibility into the services being delivered, and this can add cost if not managed properly.
Closing points: Managing the cloud is tough. Without automated tools to do the job it’s impossible.
While OpenStack didn’t make the top of our survey, many respondents that currently did not use OpenStack said they would use OpenStack within the next 12 months. That validates the impact and growth that OpenStack has on the cloud community, and the need for a strong broker to support it.
Developers that you wish to attract to OpenStack may already be using Cloud Formation, which unfortunately only works with Amazon resources. You can ingest these templates into a multi-composite blueprint, and then modify and add/remove additional composites over time. Additionally, a multi-composite blueprint is a great way to offer complex OpenStack services.
