Eucalyptus and CloudStack existed prior to OpenStack. Created as a partnership between NASA (Nova) and Rackspace (Swift). API-driven, software-defined infrastructureEvery vendor (HW and SW) was on-board: the anti-VMware projectOpenStack Foundation was created - control was maintained by Rackspace (initially). Focus was split on building an AWS-alternative &/or a VMware-alternativeWas it an integrated platform, or independent projects, or a combination? What defined something as “OpenStack”? How do you upgrade OpenStack? The scope eventually got too big - way behind an IaaS (PaaS, DBaaS, Hadoop, etc.)Cloud Foundry, OpenShift launched in 2011Threats from Hadoop companiesVMware admins didn’t know how to use python. AWS admins wanted AWS APIsWhere were the customers? LESSONS LEARNED FOR THE FUTUREIndependent governance body; leverage the Linux foundation (events, infrastructure, etc,)Focus on enabling something new (cloud-native apps, more flexible than PaaS), not replacing something existingEnable early customers, and remain customer focused. FEEDBACK?Email: show at thecloudcast dot netTwitter: @thecloudcastnet
