•  Public perception still wrong: it’s the Linux Kernel, not RHEL

•  Tragedy of the commons: how to reconcile too many chefs?

•  Ruthless prioritization and product management required

•  Distributions are the gold standard for success –  Walmart.com, Budd Van Lines, Pacnet, etc. –  Unless you have 30-40 full-time developers to spare and need to build your own

cloud operating system?

•  Infrastructure developers dominate OpenStack mindshare –  Over half of Individual Foundation Directors are OpenStack devs in last election –  Operators, end-users and app developers woefully underrepresented

OPENSTACK TO THE MAX …

① Don’t DIY OpenStack….. seriously •  Would you roll your own Linux distribution?

② Use a trusted vendor with proven OpenStack expertise

③ Complexity isn’t in OpenStack, it’s in building a private cloud

④ Demand public cloud compatibility APIs from OpenStack community

⑤  Find examples in your vertical and replicate them
