"Good solution for private or on-premise cloud infrastructure"

What do you like best about OpenStack? Openstack has an extensive API for all it's core services like Compute, Storage and Networking. Being open source, and flexibly licensed, it allows customized deployment as well as functionality. Support for a lot of hardware and software backends, due to it's pluggable, modular architecture is another big plus. What do you dislike about OpenStack? Scale issues are still unaddressed for years. Doesn't scale well for large deployments, let aside public ...

"Using OpenStack"

What do you like best about OpenStack? The main benefit of OpenStack that I like the best is to not be tied to one vendor or another. Being able to switch vendors is very important. The pricing of OpenStack and the open source nature is extremely important as well. It is also wide spread so you can use it at hundreds of companies from small shops to online hosting to media companies.Using OpenOpenStack as a platform What do you dislike about OpenStack? The architecture is still a little ...

"HPE OpenStack Developer (Freezer Team Core Developer)"

What do you like best about OpenStack? OpenStack is truly opensource project and everyone can use it or change whatever he wants.

"Working with OpenStack"

What do you like best about OpenStack? Easy horizontal scaling and fast deployment vs other solutions available. Also feels more polished when it comes to bigger scale. Once I got started I started appreciating Keystone really soon. It's really a valuable tool. I also integrated Horizon and Heat to go along our existing development 'platform'. What do you dislike about OpenStack? A bit time consuming to integrate into existing development cycle. Training is needed to get started as soon as ...

"Infrastructure automation and rapid prototyping"

What do you like best about OpenStack? I think a REST interface for monitoring and controlling my infrastructure. I love software defined networking and the ability to quickly experiment with possible configurations on a large and inter-regional scale. As a developer who's used to working with a separate infrastructure team, self-service is incredibly empowering. It means that I can not only write but deploy and monitor new products and features at any time with zero friction. It makes our ...
