John Furrier Gloria: I don't count @esayegh bc his stint at HP was short. I think Biri fought the big battles..sources tell me the former had no impact.. am i wrong?

Yes I know Biri was there when it went GA. Saar scaled the operation to a good position. I was eyewitness to the innovation.. Biri was key to success in having it .. Saar brought ops bus scale https://twitter.com/GloriaCaughlin/status/428689511451594753

It's a shame that MercardoLibre is not here today; they have been running OpenStack since Austin ; see video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AKN0UV58rnQ

MercadoLibre.com Talks About their OpenStack Production Deployment - YouTube
MercardoLibre Cloud Team members discuss how they are using OpenStack in production for their e-commerce website in Latin America at the OpenStack Summit Hon...

that is a great video and the early adopter devops mindset is huge to the culture of this model

Philippe Nicolas

Sure good use case, I saw them at #OpenStack Summit in Hong-Kong, good ambassador

HPE Cloud I believe their entire team is four people. Very talented engineers.

Why @eBay deployed #OpenStack for private cloud over others: Architecture and Ecosystem...Ecosystem IS an indisputable benefit!

Dave Vellante

in your view is that a relative advantage for OS (i.e. vis a vis alternatives)?

I wonder what bumps they had in deploying.

What is the importance of ecosystem partners running on OpenStack? Is the community focusing higher in the stack or not ready to reach out to ISVs, etc.

Do we know some #OpenStack deployed projects without an human army to maintain and support configs. - this is a key point for Enterprise adoption

Enterprises are more accustom to 'packaged' software. #OpenStack is quite different...by design.

Philippe Nicolas Sure but explaining #OpenStack difference doesn't help for adoption - Enterprises wish repeatable config., something who works elsewhere they can deploy in-house

Tim Crawford #OpenStack is better suited for web-scale and service providers, not the average enterprise today.

I think this is the issue that I have with the #mirantis model.. human bottleneck is huge issue

Tim Crawford Throwing more people at the problem doesn't solve it. It isn't scalable and works against the efficiencies we hope to gain.

there are already a large collection of configuration management tools to handle this. Chef, Puppet, Ansible, and Salt all have supported solutions.

Tristan Goode

@ProjectNectar is a great example of a big, mature and stable #OpenStack cloud that runs via a very small team. And they do cool stuff on it.

Cheap Plug for the OpenStack Online Meetup sponsored by #HP and #Mirantis http://www.meetup.com/OpenStack-Online-Meetup/

OpenStack Online Meetup (Mountain View, CA) - Meetup
We aim to serve the local IT community as well as the OpenStack ecosystem across the entire CEE region and beyond as we believe there is a lot value in facilitating a dialogue across multiple emerging

I think #miranitis is taking advantage of the demand in services but they have to think about how to scale with technology not people..

Philippe Nicolas2

Nobody really cover the difference of maturity between #OpenStack projects - last and small ones benefit from top ones for sure but it masks a reality

Big data and analytics often driving OpenStack deployments. Also apps that run in appliances that drive heavy loads #OEForum #cloud

People seem realistic here. Some things are hard, but it's getting better. Beats Pollyanna. #OEForum on #Openstack

this is a great point. We should start a wiki post on @wikibon to track this piece of data #cc @dvellante

"The Amazon Graduates - Easy to start - but costs can spiral out of control" @nopzor from Internap on the Panel #OpenStack

what do you mean Amazon graduates? can you explain

Jeff Frick

@Nopzor from Internap on the panel said these are a prime source for their customers. When the easiness goodness of AWS is less than the value of the growing AWS monthly bill.
