Let's learn about our options. What are the more common commercial and open source cloud software out there?
In this lecture, we will learn what a virtual machine is
Explore how OpenStack, the open cloud software freely downloadable, automates provisioning of server stacks and clusters with templates, as seen in large data centers with thousands of nodes.
Explore how open stacks define software layers on cloud instances, from lamp and wep stacks to custom assemblies, including operating systems, web servers, databases, and application servers.
In this lecture we will take a look at the big picture of a cloud
OpenStack history traces its 2010 start as a Rackspace NASA project, governance by the OpenStack Foundation since 2012, and evolution from Nova and Quantum to Neutron, with Horizon in Diablo.
Openstack offers a free, open source cloud platform that invites security reviews and community contributions. It deploys quickly and fully, backed by major IT names and OEMs.
