Pete Chadwick discusses the past, present, and future of OpenStack. Originally, operating systems abstracted hardware and virtualization abstracted operating systems. OpenStack now abstracts virtualization by providing an API for software-defined infrastructure that reduces risk, simplifies migrations, and allows for more adoption of new technologies. The future of OpenStack includes community roadmaps that provide direction for over 25 projects and gather requirements to create user stories and implement specifications over multiple releases. Examples of the Newton Design Series community roadmap aim to present information by themes and be updated twice per release cycle.
