Review on OpenStack by Hector Smith

Revainrating 4 out of 5

The best of the various cloud providers in one account!

The ability to integrate multiple cloud providers into one big pool is what I like best about this service; you can easily provision any amount of servers without having an account at each provider! It took me some time but once everything was set up correctly we had no problems using our stack as intended in production environments across various clouds (AWS/GCP). We used VMs from different vendors which makes things easier when trying out new configurations because they all behave pretty much alike so there's less trial-and error involved - that said sometimes getting your hands dirty helps too ;-) Nothing specific really apart form being able to use whatever hardware configuration suits my needs right now! Automation has been made very easy by providing templates for common scenarios.

Pros
  • No vendor lockin, it works with both AWS & GCE services.
  • Extremely flexible architecture allowing integration between many existing platforms such Microsoft Azure or IBM Cloud etc.The possibility exists here where even if not yet implemented today could be done soon enough after customer request comes along : )
