16. OpenStack Compute Key Features
1. REST-based API
2. Horizontally and massively
scalable
3. Hardware agnostic: supports a variety of
standard hardware
4. Hypervisor agnostic: support for Xen
,Citrix XenServer, Microsoft Hyper-V,
KVM, UML, LXC and ESX
17. OpenStack Storage Key Features
1. REST-based API
2. Data distributed evenly
throughout system
4. Scalable to
3. Runs on standard hardware multiple petabytes,
billions of objects
5. No central database
required
6. Account/Container/Object structure
(not file system, no nesting) plus
Replication (N copies of accounts,
containers, objects)
18. OpenStack Image Service Key Features
1. Store & retrieve VM
2. REST-based API
images
