In the three years since OpenStack was declared “ready for business," its growth curve has been phenomenal, but adoption has not been without growing pains.
We have enlisted this panel of OpenStack experts from software, hardware and services to discuss the real world challenges they have encountered in their actual customer implementations. We will also hear from them ideas and recommendations for where OpenStack needs to improve, and what OpenStack adopters can and should do to maximize their chances of success.
Attendees should expect to learn from the mistakes of those who have gone before them, i.e. our panelists, and leave with a concrete lists of Do's and especially Do Not's.
No OpenStack distro has yet reached a maturity level to be thrown over the fence to a customer. Attendees, whether vendor or operator, will get a better sense for how the transition (i.e. deployment) should be managed.
