Public or private? That is the OpenStack question | #OpenStack
by R. Danes | Apr 26, 2016
OpenStack is one of those areas in technology where predictions about the future rapidly arise, fail to come true, and are replaced by new predictions. Despite what some have predicted in the past, OpenStack is still lagging well behind public cloud vendors like Amazon and Google. None of this surprises Randy Bias, VP of technology at EMC Emerging Technologies Division and director at the OpenStack Foundation.
Bias told Stu Miniman (@stu) and Brian Gracely (@bgracely), cohosts of theCUBE, from the SiliconANGLE Media team, that he has said from day one, “OpenStack’s never going to be relevant in public cloud. You look at the speed and velocity of Amazon and Google and Azure, and add that all up, and OpenStack’s not even in the same zip code,” Bias said.
“But in private cloud, it’s a completely different story,” he said, adding that companies using OpenStack in their private clouds can add their own “flavoring” to suit their needs.
The bottom line according to Randy? “If one size fits all, public cloud wins. Period. If one size does not fit all, then private cloud has a place to play, and private clouds need to be flavored for their particular workloads.”
The future of OpenStack
Bias said that OpenStack is so large and unwieldy at this time, that it’s hard to draw a tight circle around it. This is why he said that OpenStack needs to divide itself into different compartments that can each get a handle on the different components.
“I would like to see a bunch of different flavors of OpenStack,” he said, but added that so far that is falling on deaf ears.
