OpenStack’s past, present and future | #OpenStack
by Heather Johnson | Aug 17, 2015
Despite early setbacks, OpenStack persevered to make steady progress toward its mission to provide an alternative to Amazon for the enterprise. At the conclusion of the third day of a successful OpenStack Summit in Vancouver, theCUBE cohosts Stu Miniman and John Furrier discussed OpenStack’s past, present and future. Although it experienced a rocky past, the future looks bright.
“OpenStack has crossed over the chasm to an environment where you’ve got real buildout, real architecting, and real engineering up and down the stack, form hardware operations to software engineering to solutions architects,” said Miniman. “It’s in the adolescent stage, but it’s accelerating. And it’s got some good investors.”
The new, modern software platform
If OpenStack continues in its current direction, “it can be the poster child for some of these open-source projects to really move things forward,” Miniman added.
Integration remains a priority. “It’s moved above products and up to a platform,” said Miniman. “It’s not the full stack, but it’s the new software stack built on open APIs. This is the new, modern software platform.”
