It is an open source programming which is incredible, and after some time it has included loads of enormous highlights like database as administration or it arrange management.The execution and the size of OpenStack is colossal. OpenStack wows with its locale support, and gigantic sponsorship from goliath associations.
At first form it has a few crashes generally , yet in late form heaps of bugs have been resolved, yet I figure its UI can be planned better.
Investigate Openstack on the off chance that you are investigating adding to a huge open source Python venture as well as in the event that you are keen on the field of distributed computing. Ensure you attempt it on a demo framework and endeavor to introduce it. Try not to accept it will be anything but difficult to utilize. It takes some training and work to utilize it. Take a class, go to some meetups, ensure you comprehend what you are getting into.
I actualized the openstack as their IAAS works great, and I likewise attempted it for cloud HPC with works truly well. utilizing OpenStack to setup advancement condition for all our team.We likewise use it to have benefits little etherpad, irc bouncer, nagios and others. Be that as it may, basically openstack is the cloud we use to give process assets to our CI framework.
Open stack best cloud open source, simplest cheap and powerful.
Management is very easy
Need more support for more products and vendors, and need to add more image for more vendors for diffrent technology
Openstack provide transfer for your on premise infrastructure to cloud very easily.
Save more fir reducing physical infrastructure and software licenses
The performance and the scale of OpenStack is tremendous.
Though not as good as some of the private and commercial offerings (read Amazon Web Services), OpenStack wows with its community support, and huge backing from giant organizations.
Though the community is trying to stay focussed and work towards making the software more reliable and improve performance, companies with commercial interests are mostly pushing for their own end goals which may not align very well with the actual goal of the community.
OpenStack is an amazing technology to switch to if you have the resources to use and maintain it. Is cost effective on a large scale. For smaller use cases, third-party cloud providers are the way to go.
We are using OpenStack to maintain and manage our own hybrid cloud. Given the nature of its decentralized architecture, maintaining this product is a breeze if you have a sufficiently big team.
We deployed on our own server. Very easy to monitor and apply security and limit pool of users.
Nothing. I prefer it to a lot of other services.
We were trying to keep down costs, as well as be able to make deployments and testing consistent and easier to automate.
First of all, since I am a passionate Python developer, I love that there is an open source implementation of cloud services in Python. Openstack encourages open source development and contributions including helping new developers getting on board. They have very detailed documentation, good bug tracking with good filtering options. They even provide an IRC channel so that developers and dev ops can ask questions about installiong an openstack service instance.
Since the OpenStack product is pretty big now (more than four million lines of code), there is a high learning curve in setting up Openstack services whether it is for development or for production
Definitely look into Openstack if you are looking into contributing to a large open source Python project and/or if you are interested in the field of cloud computing
I am in the field of cloud computing and hence Openstack is a model to follow in terms of developing loosely coupled services
OpenStack's open source approach gives it a unique advantage over competing cloud management infrastructures.
The approach allows for a good amount of "pick and choose" style cloud architecture/design, while minimizing hidden gotchas.
OpenStack's open source approach means that it can take quite some time for needed improvements to make their way into production use.
I work for an OpenStack software company. We help our customer base with the deployment and ongoing operation of OpenStack clouds.
Easy horizontal scaling and fast deployment vs other solutions available. Also feels more polished when it comes to bigger scale.
Once I got started I started appreciating Keystone really soon. It's really a valuable tool.
I also integrated Horizon and Heat to go along our existing development 'platform'.
A bit time consuming to integrate into existing development cycle. Training is needed to get started as soon as possible, but it still carries a lot from other services like it.
What I would like the most is the ability to better monitor usage of individual VM's. Also better control of number of instances per process would help a lot, but it's not something that is a huge roadblock.
We are not at the point where I can say that OpenStack solved our problems, but it sure is going to lead to this point once we complete the final 'transformation;. Currently we are using a mix of technologies that provide a similar service but with a bigger overhead and with extensive administration per machine/hypervisor.
OpenStack sets a standard for open source cloud, and is the most accepted and supported solution for those who don't want to be subject to vendor lock in, or pay licence fees.
It requires a reasonably high level of expertise to setup and operate.
I'm using OpenStack to provide cost efficient scalable private cloud deployments.

- Modular Source
- Vendor Neutral and Support
- Keeps up with latest technology support
- Community Support
Nothing much, I am waiting for more features with respect to Interoperability and Security
Best for on-premise.
Follow documentation carefully. Everything is documented.

You are in control of all the services and software, you can go to the root level of each service and modify it to your needs. We can use this to even create our cloud service platform over on-premise hardware. Moreover, it has a very useful visualization interface to get a clear picture of the infrastructure we build upon it.
Few of the plugins or SDN need to be configured a lot and be even maintained timely. I would suggest using Ansible to manage those configurations as it will be automated then.
If you have on-premise data centre and want to integrate those with the Cloud Providers for some deployment purposes, go for OpenStack
It is helping us solve the purpose of on-premise datacentre integration with other cloud platforms like Azure, AWS, and GCP. We have a few Kubernetes clusters running on-premises hardware through OpenStack, and this gives us all the access to our data and services integrated seamlessly with Cloud Providers.
