PS: OpenStack, in case you hadn’t heard, is an open source set of building blocks for cloud infrastructures – compute, storage etc – which maps roughly to Amazon Web Services (AWS) proprietary stack. Initially founded by NASA and Rackspace, the OpenStack community now includes pretty much every vendor in enterprise IT.
