OpenStack is an IaaS provider software written in Python. As such, it provides a massive scalable operating system and services like: Image, Storage, Object, Compute, etc. This talks aims to give the audience an overview about OpenStack, its capabilities, its modules, coding styles, workflow and organization. As a successful community driven development case, it’s definitely a good reference for anyone willing to take that road or maybe joining existing projects.

OpenStack
What marketers read:
noun [U] / o .pənstæk/ cloud operating system that controls large pools ofˈ ʊ
compute, storage, and networking resources throughout a datacenter, all managed
through a dashboard that gives administrators control while empowering their users
to provision resources through a web interface.
What it really is:
Really cool, pure python, open source,
infrastructure (and not just infrastructure)
as a service provider (IaaS).
