2. The project mission
“to produce the
ubiquitous Open Source Cloud Computing platform
that will meet the needs of public and private clouds
regardless of size, by being simple to implement and
massively scalable”

3. The project software
• Complete open-source IaaS solution
• Python written
• Community based
• Shared nothing architecture
• Plugins
• Standards
• Code reviews / Continuous Integration
• Bugs and Blueprints
Open Design, Development, Community

4. Official programs
• Compute (Nova)
• Object Storage (Swift)
• Image Service (Glance)
• Identity (Keystone)
• Dashboard (Horizon)
• Networking (Neutron)
• Block Storage (Cinder)
• Metering/Monitoring
(Ceilometer)
• Orchestration (Heat)
Incubation
• Database Service (Trove)
• Bare metal (Ironic)
• Oslo (Oslo common libraries)
• Infrastructure (projects under
openstack-infra/ and more)
• Documentation (*-api
docs, openstack-manuals, api-
site...)
• QA (tempest)
OpenStack Programs are reviewed by the Technical Committee to become
official

5. OpenStack and Amazon
OpenStack project Amazon Web Services
Virtual Machines Nova EC2
Block storage Cipher EBS
Object storage Swift S3
Virtual Networks Neutron VPC
Graphical User Interface Horizon AWS Management Console
• Every official program provides core functionality to operate a cloud
infrastructure
• Glance provides disk image registry services and Keystone authentication
and authorization functions
