What is OpenStack? The Basics - Part One

OpenStack. In an increasingly cloud-obsessed world, you’ve probably heard of it. Maybe you’ve read it’s “one of the fastest growing open source communities in the world,” but you’re still not sure what all the hype is about.

The aim of this video is to get you from zero to 60 on the basics of OpenStack, leaving you with a clear sense of whether this flexible platform is right for your organization. In Part Two, we’ll go a little deeper, take on some of the pros and cons, and talk about where OpenStack is heading.

If you didn't already understand cloud, I don't think this video would be useful to you. Still, there was no clear, layman explanation, of what OpenStack is. I ended up with more questions than the one I came in with.
