As we are wrapping up this week’s #openstacksummit, it has become clear that much of the purpose behind the event is to shore up the OpenStack brand from both a business and technological perspective. Joining SiliconANGLE’s theCUBE co-hosts John Furrier and Stu Miniman to discuss this, the ascendance of the DevOps culture and why transitioning to a fully open source environment will still leave room for specialty houses in the Enterprise was the CEO of Dreamhost, Simon Anderson.
OpenStack, still in what many believe to be its early days, is taking this time to ensure they are minding their P’s and Q’s in terms of development and maturity in a responsible manner. As Anderson noted, “It’s getting to a point where the OpenStack brand can be applied to both hardware and software.” He continued by saying that the work done by the Foundation is building confidence going forward that any OpenStack branded product will work and work well. “It’s about building trust in the brand,” he said.
Confidence in the brand is going to be essential in the coming several months, too. While large corporations like Disney and Wells Fargo have made clear their support for OpenStack, other companies seem to be taking a wait and see approach. Anderson, citing the early days of AWS, is not disheartened by this fact, however.
