Topic: OpenStack is for You
Description:
OpenStack is a python based open source cloud computing framework.
It is an Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) cloud computing project that is
free open
source software released under the terms of the Apache License. The project
is managed by
the OpenStack Foundation, a non-profit corporate entity established in
September 2012 to promote, protect and empower OpenStack software and its
community.
More than 150 companies have joined the project among which are AMD, Intel,
Canonical,
SUSE Linux, Red Hat, Cisco, Dell, HP, IBM, NEC, VMware and Yahoo!.
It is portable software, but is mostly developed and used on the Linux
operating system.
The technology consists of a series of interrelated projects that control
large pools
of processing, storage, and networking resources throughout a datacenter,
all managed
through a dashboard that gives administrators control while empowering
their users to
provision resources through a web interface.
