At the last OpenStack summit we received a message from the Enterprise on the missing features in OpenStack (see: "Enterprise to OpenStack: Here's what you're missing" -
http://www .openstack.org/summit/san-diego-2012/openstack-summit-sessions/presentation/enterprise-to- openstack-here-s-what-you-re-missing)
That message was received lound and clear. While some of the points are still valid today, there is also a clear answer back from OpenStck to Enterprise: "Boldly go where few yet have gone so far..."
In this session will be covering the lessons we have learned so from positioning OpenStack in the Enterprise space:
Take full advantage of the cloud value proposition. Emulate and improve upon the existing features we've used in our existing virtualized environments, mainly VMware, to an OpenStack platform using RightScale. See how traditional infrastructure features such as automation, HA and Vmotion are managed at the cloud and application layer.
