How to Take Flight with OpenStack

More and more enterprises are looking at how to bring agile infrastructure to their application developers, providing developers the tools they need to create, deploy and iterate apps faster. But in the real world, there are practical limitations like SLA obligations, latency issues, and resource capacity. These demand caution when moving to agile infrastructure.

You’ll learn why enterprises are taking the agile journey, what issues they encounter along the way, and how OpenStack helps to deliver a self-service environment so developers can create new value for customers through software innovation.
