Event Details

The OpenStack community has been driving initiatives on two sides of the interoperability coin: workload portability and API/code standards for OpenStack Powered products. The first phase of the OpenStack Interoperability Challenge culminated with a Barcelona Summit Keynote demo comprised of 16 vendors all running the same enterprise workload to illustrate that OpenStack enables workload portability across OpenStack clouds. Building on this momentum for its second phase, the multi-vendor Interop Challenge team has selected new advanced workloads based on Kubernetes and NFV applications to flush out portability issues in these commonly deployed workloads. Meanwhile, the recently formed Interop Working Group continues to roll out new Guidelines, drive new initiatives, and is considering expanding its scope to cover more vertical use cases. In this presentation we describe the progress, challenges, and lessons learned from both of these efforts.
