Enterprise Readiness - Are We There Yet?

Wondering if OpenStack is really ready for prime time? Has anyone been testing it from an operator's perspective, addressing real-world requirements? The OpenStack Innovation Center (OSIC) has been engaged in doing just that over the last 6 months, working closely with the rest of the community. We've had novices walk through an install of all the core services and made changes in the documentation, scaled a running cloud all the way up to 300 nodes with documented best practices, and added rolling upgrade capabilities and tested them when complete.

Attend this session to get a good understanding of OpenStack's readiness for serious production deployment in the Enterprise, and of the areas that still need work. We'll also cover the status of the 2000-node cluster that we have had up and running for some time, and the kind of use it has been put to by the community


What can I expect to learn?

Operators will go away with greater understanding and confidence about the deployment and management processes
