The document discusses the current state and future outlook of OpenStack amid competition from AWS and Digital Ocean. Key concerns for developers include monitoring software, hypervisor choice, network scalability, storage systems, API quality, feature velocity, and portability. Recommendations for improving OpenStack adoption include focusing on APIs, enhancing ease of use, and fostering open competition in engineering.

- 9. So, we have to ask: Is OpenStack for DIY dead-enders? CONFIDENTIAL MIRANTIS ©© M MIRIARNATNIST I2S0 210312 PAGE 9
- 10. What do developers care about? ● Deployment’s choice of monitoring software ● Which hypervisor is used underneath ● Scalability of the network layer ● Which storage system is used for volumes ● API quality and ease of use ● Feature velocity ● Portability CONFIDENTIAL MIRANTIS ©© M MIRIARNATNIST I2S0 210312 PAGE 10
- 11. What to do? 1. Focus on the APIs as the key to adoption 2. Invest in ease of use vs. even more flexible plumbing 3. Don’t move up the stack. Partner instead. 4. Reshape upstream engineering to foster open competition (vs. central planning) 5. Enable workload mobility to other platforms CONFIDENTIAL MIRANTIS ©© M MIRIARNATNIST I2S0 210312 PAGE 11
