OpenStack is an open-source cloud computing platform that provides common services for both public and private clouds. It was launched in 2010 by Rackspace and NASA as a joint project. OpenStack provides APIs and tools to provision resources like compute, storage, and networking. It allows building clouds on top of heterogeneous data center hardware. Customers choose OpenStack because it is open source, low cost, customizable, has community support, and is compatible with AWS APIs. Major companies like BMW, Disney, and Walmart use OpenStack in production environments.

3. Cloud computing
Cloud computing is a type of computing that relies on sharing
computing resources rather than having local servers or personal
devices to handle applications.
In cloud computing, the word cloud (also phrased as "the cloud") is
used as a metaphor for "the Internet," so the phrase cloud
computing means "a type of Internet-based computing," where
different services— such as servers, storage and applications — are
delivered to an organization's computers and devices through the
Internet.

4. Types of Cloud computing
Deployment based Model
1. Public Cloud (http://www.hwclouds.com/en-us/)
2. Private Cloud (Huawei workspace Fusion Access)
3. Hybrid Cloud = Public + Private
Service based Model
1. Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)
2. Platform as a Service (PaaS)
3. Software as a Service (SaaS)

5. OpenStack
In July 2010, Rackspace Hosting & NASA jointly launched an open-source cloud-software
initiative known as OpenStack

6. Cloud Data-center
OpenStack is an distributed cloud operating system
provides an platform for setting up public or private cloud
on top of heterogeneous data-center.
For operator, It provides set of configurable device-
drivers/plug-ins to consume the required hardware-devices
and software-defined-devices from cloud data-center
regions.
And for consumers, it provides required RESTful API, CLI to
provision and manage their cloud resources such as
instances, storage volumes, networks, etc. programmatically.
OpenStack
OpenStack is Open-source, Openly-designed, Openly-developed by Open-community
