Cloud Tenants are key stakeholders in the OpenStack cloud community. Their support is critical for driving the adoptions and expansion of OpenStack clouds.Many of the driving requirements of cloud tenants are business, operational, and management focused.
The ability of the OpenStack cloud platform and enterprise IT to meet these requirements will have a large influence on the advocacy of these key stakeholders.
Example tenant scenarios (derived from actual cloud projects) illustrating these tenant needs, their implications, and how they were met will be reviewed and discussed.
Call to action: specific proposals will be presented on how the OpenStack community can more directly address the business and operational management needs of cloud tenants.
The audience will gain and understanding and appreciation of key non-technical requirements of OpenStack cloud tenants, current project based work being done to meet these needs, and suggested proposals to further enhance the tenant experience on OpenStack clouds.
