The document discusses OpenStack, an open source cloud computing platform. It provides an overview of OpenStack's history, core projects, and services. The core projects allow users to provision compute, storage, and networking resources. OpenStack uses a modular architecture and is designed to easily scale out workloads across multiple virtual machines. Major contributors include companies like Red Hat, HP, IBM, and Rackspace who aim to develop OpenStack as an open infrastructure for both private and public clouds.

2. WORKLOADS ARE EVOLVING
TRADITIONAL
WORKLOADS
• Typically resides on a single large
• Virtual Machine
• Cannot tolerate any downtime
• Needs expensive high availability tools
• found in VMware vSphere
• Application scales up rather than out
CLOUD
WORKLOADS
• Workload resides on multiple Virtual
Machines
• Tolerates VM failure – if one fails, another
quickly replaces it
• Fault tolerance often built into workload
• Application scales out rather than up
