April 25, 2016
So let's take a look at the takeaways in this video:
No time to watch - checkout my takeaways in the two slides below on Slideshare:
Time to read on - here is my view:
MyPOV
Good to see OpenStack come back to its roots in Austin. I was positive surprised by the attendance of 7500, good to see - as well as substantial investment by Openstack partners in marketing and entertainment. Though industry heavyweights like IBM and HP were not part of the keynote, the keynote was still done well. At times I felt presenters were out of synch with the audience, that said - not sure what the audience composure was, but I assume the same mix like at other cloud vendor events.
Kudos to OpenStack for starting the certification process, always something that helps enterprises gain confidence on service capability and service success around new, innovative technologies. And it is clear that NFV / SDN for Telcos runs on Openstack, with both AT&T and Verizon being part of the keynote. Equally ISVs are taking up OpenStack, with SAP keynoting and Workday being mentioned more than once. The question is - what confidence does this give to the average commercial enterprise. I asked a panel in the press Q&A on the largest commercial uptakes and the answers were the usual suspects of Walmart, eBay and Paypal... which is good that they keep investing, not so good as there is no new name in the fold.
