Five Things OpenStack Needs to Do … Now.

Five Things OpenStack Needs to Do … Now.

By Randy Bias on September 17, 2015

At the most recent OpenStack SV 2015 event, I was invited to speak and provide a viewpoint on OpenStack’s future.  The year before in 2014 I gave a talk entitled “Lie of the Benevolent Dictator” which spawned the Product Working Group for OpenStack.  A blog posting entitled The Future of OpenStack is Now, 2015 in […]

Intel, Rackspace, OpenStack, and a Cloud for All

Intel, Rackspace, OpenStack, and a Cloud for All

By Paul Miller on July 24, 2015

I didn’t really get it, back in January 2014, when Intel, Amazon and others made a big noise about slapping the equivalent of an ‘Intel Inside’ sticker on your favourite cloud. Now they’re at it again, with the birth of a new ‘Cloud for All’ initiative, a nudge for OpenStack, and the promise that Intel and Rackspace […]

Amazon iterates, Google partners

Amazon iterates, Google partners

By Paul Miller on July 17, 2015

Positive cloudy news from two of the big three, with Amazon Web Services (AWS) making some significant improvements to their DynamoDB service and Google signing on as a sponsor of the OpenStack cloud platform. AWS has got this incremental improvement thing down to a fine art, to the extent that too many competitors have stopped […]

EMC and Canonical expand OpenStack Partnership

EMC and Canonical expand OpenStack Partnership

By Randy Bias on May 27, 2015

As you saw at last week’s OpenStack Summit, EMC® is expanding its partnership with Canonical amongst others. I want to take a moment to talk specifically about our relationship with Canonical. We see it as a team up between the world’s #1 storage provider and the world’s #1 cloud Linux distribution. For the last two […]

State of the Stack v4 – OpenStack In All It’s Glory

State of the Stack v4 – OpenStack In All It’s Glory

By Randy Bias on May 22, 2015

I gave the seminal State of the Stack presentation at the OpenStack Summit.  This is the 4th major iteration of the deck.  This particular version took a very different direction for several reasons: Most of the audience is well steeped in OpenStack and providing the normal “speeds and feeds” seemed pedantic There were critical unaddressed […]

Hewlett-Packard gets real

Hewlett-Packard gets real

By Paul Miller on April 8, 2015

The New York Times’ Quentin Hardy reports HP’s Bill Hilf as saying that: “We thought people would rent or buy computing from us. It turns out that it makes no sense for us to go head-to-head [with Amazon].” Well, yes. But, and it’s a huge but… this doesn’t mean HP is abandoning (or should abandon) the […]

OpenStack doesn’t scale. Allegedly.

OpenStack doesn’t scale. Allegedly.

By Paul Miller on March 20, 2015

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 […]

The Future of OpenStack’s EC2 APIs

The Future of OpenStack’s EC2 APIs

By Randy Bias on February 12, 2015

Recently, some more talk was had around the future of the EC2 APIs, beginning with some comments on the openstack-operators mailing list, followed by threads on the dev and foundation mailing list.  This ultimately resulted in a suggested commit to officially “deprecate” the EC2 APIs from Nova.  This commit was rejected, but make sure you […]

“Vanilla OpenStack” Doesn’t Exist and Never Will

“Vanilla OpenStack” Doesn’t Exist and Never Will

By Randy Bias on February 3, 2015

One of the biggest failures of OpenStack to date is expectation setting.  New potential OpenStack users and customers come into OpenStack and expect to find: A uniform, monolithic cloud operating system (like Linux) Set of well-integrated and interoperable components Interoperability with their own vendors of choice in hardware, software, and public cloud Unfortunately, none of […]

The Future of OpenStack is Now, 2015

By Randy Bias on January 13, 2015

This year will be a crucial year in OpenStack history.  This is the year we fix much of how OpenStack is structured or die trying.  By structure, I mean the vision, the project structure, the integrated release cycle, and the board and TC’s role in driving direction. First, stop and read this blog posting by […]
