Openstack\u2019s Magnum project directly integrates with Kubernetes, the open source project Google introduced in June, 2014, enabling new cloud native apps to run alongside traditional enterprise workloads on a single platform. The community has also created an easy way to deploy Kubernetes on OpenStack via the Murano project and the new Community App Catalog. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">I just spoke with a large enterprise user of OpenStack this week who described OpenStack as their \u201cpath to production\u201d for containers. The value proposition for them is that OpenStack can provide a single control plane across all of their infrastructure, which will include VMware, KVM and containerized workloads. OpenStack gives them a solid platform to explore new and compelling technologies as they emerge, and I know they\u2019ll be even more confident in that path knowing that Google has joined our mission to make OpenStack the platform for containerized workloads.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Having a company with Google\u2019s cloud-native chops backing OpenStack is huge, and we can\u2019t wait to see what the future of open collaboration brings to cloud computing!<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Be sure to read <a href=\"http:\/\/googlecloudplatform.blogspot.com\/2015\/07\/Containers-Private-Cloud-Google-Sponsors-OpenStack-Foundation.html\">Craig Mcluckie\u2019s thoughts on today\u2019s announcement<\/a> on the Google Cloud Platform blog.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Mark Collier<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">COO, OpenStack Foundation<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/sparkycollier\">@sparkycollier<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Google runs one of the world\u2019s largest and most sophisticated automated infrastructures, pioneering new paradigms in cloud computing with containers (launching 2 billion a week), while sharing their work in the open with innovative open source projects like Kubernetes. \u00a0 That\u2019s why I\u2019m so excited to announce that Google is sponsoring the OpenStack Foundation, underscoring&#8230;  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.openstack.org\/blog\/google-bringing-container-expertise-to-openstack\/\" class=\"more-link\" title=\"Read Google bringing container expertise to OpenStack\">Read more &raquo;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.openstack.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7031"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.openstack.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.openstack.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.openstack.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.openstack.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7031"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/www.openstack.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7031\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7036,"href":"https:\/\/www.openstack.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7031\/revisions\/7036"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.openstack.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7031"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.openstack.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7031"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.openstack.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7031"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
