OpenStack doesn’t scale. Allegedly.:
Shock news, from a company that wants paid to help you handle complex OpenStack deployments.
Scaling is hard. Scaling anything is harder than running it on a server or two. This is not surprising.
Most OpenStack deployments tend to be relatively small. This isn’t surprising either. Most comparable public/hybrid cloud deployments tend to be relatively small, too.
OpenStack could scale better. OpenStack’s tools could make it easier to scale. Remove ‘OpenStack’ from either of those sentences and insert another technology instead. The sentences still work.
Sometimes, in the scrabble for customers, companies just end up shooting themselves — and the nascent market they should be doing everything they can to nurture and grow — in the foot.
