One of the many benefits of OpenStack is the availability of a widely-accepted, industry standard interface that enables software to be leveraged to many different cloud implementations. Non-OpenStack cloud implementations have the opposite issue: Workloads are in an environment that is proprietary and unique to a particular vendor.
In this session real world experiences garnered from moving production workloads and solutions running in the Amazon Web Services environment to the HP Public Cloud OpenStack environment will be shared. Specific topics that will be covered include:
- The paradigm shift that occurs when using OpenStack as compared to AWS
- Comparison of user and privilege models between the two environments; along with the resulting benefit to the organization's development and delivery processes
- Comparison of infrastructure services and areas to consider when migrating
- Comparison of platform services and how they can be handled in the OpenStack environment
