Situational Context‣ In 2014, Board of Directors defined OpenStack core for
downstream products with capabilities & code for Havana; in 2015 Foundation implements product testing for logo programs and Marketplace
‣ The Technical Committee has also started examining the scope of OpenStack and are considering new project classification & tagging program, which could provide more flexibility and context for users as they’re adopting different components of OpenStack
‣ After BMW, BBVA, Disney, Wells Fargo and major brands spoke about using OpenStack in 2014, we’re moving past “where are the users” question to the more sophisticated “why? what is the value?”
‣ Next frontier is end users, how enterprise teams drive adoption among internal end users, and how public clouds can attract developers to build on OpenStack APIs
14
What’s next for OpenStack?
Make OpenStack the most attractive platform for applications with a consistent and interoperable experience across clouds and a thriving ecosystem of tools
15
2015 is the year of
INTEROP
16
Marketing Initiatives
1. Demonstrate the value of being part of a global network of public / private clouds running common IaaS services
2. Articulate evolution of the software platform to a tighter, stable core, with a large ecosystem of innovation
3. As a defined target with open APIs, position OpenStack as the best platform for building and running cloud applications
17
1) Global Network of Cloud Deployments
‣ DefCore policy becomes reality; roll out new testing and logo program to give users confidence in OpenStack-branded solutions
‣ Updates to Marketplace based on product test results; continue to promote Marketplace as call to action
‣ Demonstrate hybrid cloud workload federation via case studies and potential Summit presentation
‣ Develop messaging around the power of a global cloud network for workload portability, standard APIs, vendor & geographical choice
18
2) Next Phase of Cloud Innovation
‣ Communicate evolution of the software platform to a tighter, stable core balanced with an even greater ecosystem of innovative services (more next slide)
‣ Articulate the benefits of stable core services through enterprise case studies and example reference architectures
‣ Continue to position OpenStack as the center of cloud innovation, with support for a diverse set of technologies and well-positioned to capitalize on emerging tools like containers
19
Preview: Evolution of Integrated Software Release‣ Artist formerly known as the “big tent”
‣ Technical committee is considering evolution of “integrated release” to a more sophisticated tag / classification system. There would still be a coordinated release, but it would be smaller than the current integrated release
‣ Presents a large opportunity from marketing perspective to message stable, solid core and ecosystem of innovation
‣ These changes will also have broad impacts on our taxonomy, marketing cadence, etc.
‣ Expect to communicate changes around Kilo release, since it will be “last” integrated release, as well as the Vancouver Summit
‣ It’s still very early! This is a multi-month process and proposals are still evolving; nothing is set in stone
20
3) Building on OpenStack
‣ In the last year, application ecosystem and API working groups have spun up to support next level users
‣ Application ecosystem team tackling reference app and documentation in 2015; which we can promote and use as a call to action for collateral and possibly new industry events
‣ Building out openstack.org/enterprise and developing reference architectures by workload
‣ Plans to expand the Marketplace for tools & applications later in 2015
