The 2021 User Survey shows that the footprint of OpenStack clouds grew by 66% over the last year, totaling over 25 million cores in production. This increase has been contributed by organizations of all sizes around the world. During this episode of OpenInfra Live, we are going to talk to operators from Kakao, LINE, Schwarz IT, NeCTAR and T-Systems about what’s causing this OpenStack growth at their organization.
The hybrid cloud marketing is expected to reach $145 billion USD by 2026 and organizations worldwide are deploying a combination of open source and proprietary tools in production for this use case. Join us on OpenInfra Live as we kick off a series of episodes to talk about the organizations deploying hybrid cloud environments, the technologies they’re working with and the vendors who are supporting the production use cases. #OpenInfraLive

When we talk about Large Scale, it usually refers to scaling out to hundreds of thousands of commodity nodes. But there is another dimension to Large Scale OpenStack: using OpenStack to build supercomputers to use in research and HPC. In this episode, operators of OpenStack supercomputers and HPC centers will discuss the unique challenges this use case brings.

For the uninitiated, OpenStack's role in programmable infrastructure can be a little hard to understand unless you know its capabilities and how it works. Furthermore, to some people, OpenStack looks very similar to virtualization or simply like existing public cloud offerings. To fully understand this cloud platform, we will start at the origins of cloud technology and end at how today's OpenStack works.
FeaturingBen Silverman, Ildiko Vancsa
