The Good, Bad and Ugly: OpenStack Consumption Models
Evaluating OpenStack

Panelist : Amar Kapadia (Mirantis), James Page (Canonical), and VS Joshi from EMC.

Moderator: Ashish Nadkarni (IDC)

In this panel, experts will discuss the pros and cons of various OpenStack consumption models. We will take a critical view of the various options that are available for building an OpenStack cloud. Is DIY the best path or are there trade-offs? Should you be concerned with vendor lock-in leveraging a distribution or turnkey model? What considerations should you take into account when deciding between these options of DIY or Distro or Turnkey? Join these experts as they discuss the good, the bad, and the ugly with each path to a building a successful OpenStack powered organization.

 


What can I expect to learn?

Basic understanding of various consumption models.
