A long time ago in a cloud far, far away...OpenStack Awakened.
In OpenStack's seventh year of expansion and evolution, the lore of its potential, its pitfalls, and its future is legendary. It's true... All of it!
The focus of this presentation is to compare and contrast popular approaches of deploying OpenStack - from vendor-specific reference architectures, to complete DIY snowflakes built from trunk, and managed-as-a-service offerings, to accelerated applicances dropped into your premises.
Attendees will be enlightened and educated about the Force required to implement and operate OpenStack depending on the path chosen.
Specifically, the pros, cons, and qualitative business costs of the following OpenStack implementation approaches will be reviewed:
* On your premises
- DIY - Everything from scratch - repurposed and/or commodity hardware
- Deployed as an "prefabricated" appliance or reference architecture
- OpenStack control plane delivered and managed as a service
- Collaborative implementations with OpenStack ISV's or Outsourced Professional Services
* Dedicated OpenStack Hosted and Managed by an MSP
- Managed OpenStack hosted by a Managed Service Provider
- Remote hosted/managed OpenStack control plane with your on premises compute
