OpenStack

OpenStack is a collection of open source software projects that enterprises/service providers can use to setup and run their cloud compute and storage infrastructure. Rackspace and NASA are the key initial contributors to the stack. Rackspace contributed their “Cloud Files” platform (code) to power the Object Storage part of the OpenStack, while NASA contributed their “Nebula” platform (code) to power the Compute part.

OpenStack Components

  • Compute Infrastructure (Nova)
  • Storage Infrastructure (Swift)
  • Imaging Service (Glance)
