What is Cloud?

OpenStack 101

Cloud is more than virtualization

Virtualization is an integral part of cloud computing
Virtualization allows to fully maximize the computing resources but it still requires
a system administrator to provision the virtual machine for the end-users
Virtualization itself does not provide the customer a self-service layer and without
that layer you cannot deliver compute as a service.
Cloud computing is about providing self-service to end users
Architecture and tools to enable virtualization to be delivered as a service and
virtualization is one possible service that could be delivered.
Self-provision servers, applications and other resources
Utility model similar to power or water meter resources and pay for what is used

OpenStack 101

What is OpenStack?
As described by the OpenStack Foundation:

Open source software for creating

private, public & hybrid clouds.

OpenStack 101

Why OpenStack?
Standard
OpenStack is not a cheap alternative to proprietary, it is a dominant
standard as an IaaS.

Compatible
Compatibility with public cloud makes it easy to migrate data and
applications to public/hybrid clouds.

Proven
OpenStack today powers some of the largest public and private clouds in
the world.
