The document discusses whether OpenStack will boom or bust in 2016. It notes that while OpenStack's mindshare has grown, AWS remains the runaway leader in cloud infrastructure. Alternative providers like Digital Ocean have seen meteoric rises in popularity among developers due to their ease of use and competitive pricing. The document suggests OpenStack needs to focus on API quality and usability, enable workload portability across platforms, and partner rather than attempt to control the entire stack in order to foster greater adoption among developers.

- 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
