OpenStack Capabilities and Projects
Compute
Provision and manage large pools of on-demand
computing resources
Object Storage Petabytes of reliable storage on standard gear
Block Storage
Volumes on commodity storage gear, and drivers
for more advanced systems like NetApp, Solidfire,
and Nexenta
Networking
Software defined networking automation with
pluggable backends
Dashboard
Self-service, role-based web interface for users
and administrators
Shared
Services
Multi-tenant authentication system that ties to
existing stores (e.g. LDAP) and Image Service

OpenStack,key takeaways
Software development
methodologies are
changing
Cloud apps require
different platforms and
methodologies
OpenStack is where
Community meets
code – OpenStack
Training
