Here is all the info that you will need to help start making Open Stack a success.  If we all contribute a little this will help us all out in the end. The OpenStack Open Source Cloud Mission: to produce the ubiquitous Open Source Cloud Computing platform that will meet the needs of public and private cloud providers regardless of size, by being simple to implement and massively scalable.

OSCON 2010 Keynote

Monday, July 26th, 2010

What a great conference last week.  Lew Moorman opened the keynote, Toward an Open Cloud, at OSCON 2010.  He mainly talked the whole time about how Rackspace got started and  has succeeded through the years, taking standard based technologies and making them into great services.  He talked a ton about OpenStack, the new RackspaceCloud open source cloud hosting platform and it’s commitment in 4 opens: open design, open development, open community and open source.

Check out the video:

OpenStack Is Pretty Awesome

Monday, July 19th, 2010

OpenStack is the full software behind several Cloud Servers and Cloud Files offerings. The software, which will be licensed under Apache 2, will be available to competing hosting companies, enterprises and governments to implement.  I will say that it’s hard to beat the credibility of the platform being run by a top five IaaS provider.

Regular hosting companies should be jumping on this because there are strong similarities between your business and Rackspace and thus the solution should be relatively applicable. It’s also potentially more appealing from a profit point of view than Microsoft Windows Azure platform appliance or vCloud as there’s no one you have to share the revenue with. There will no doubt be some skepticism by hosters that Rackspace is holding back something that will help them maintain their advantage.

My prediction is that OpenStack cloud server is that they will be a leader here in the next 6 months!
