OpenStack Community Celebrates Five Years Of Open Cloud Collaboration
De facto open source standard for private and hybrid clouds now powers production applications for top research projects and brands.
OpenStack marks its fifth anniversary this month with its global community of 30,000 supporters celebrating at events around the world.
Launched in 2010 as a joint project between Rackspace and NASA, OpenStack started as two open source projects to orchestrate virtual machines and object storage. It has evolved into dozens of projects tackling a broad range of use cases, from accelerating software development to reducing the cost of big data analytics to helping large telco providers roll out Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) and next generation network services.
