Great walk-through. Though I'm sure there must be a few glitches, Oneops is fairly solid for an initial release. >"OneOps was a result of Walmart's fear of over reliance on one particular cloud-provider or technology." You are factually incorrect here, but it's an understandable oversight; normal people would _not_ be normal if they had to think like Walmart. Walmart has its own staggeringly humongous datacenters, so they actually have no reliance on third party cloud providers. Their "technical" reason for supporting nearly every third party could provider is simple; speedy disaster recovery. If the earth gets mostly destroyed by an asteroid and any cloud service is still running, then walmart.com would still be available. Their "business" reason for supporting nearly every third party cloud provider is also simple; abstracting the differences between the services to make transition from one provider to another effortless turns the cloud providers into easily replaced commodities that must compete with each other. Open sourcing Oneops helps to commoditize all of the third party cloud providers. --This is basically the same reasoning and tactics behind Walmart, Facebook, and others contributing to the OpenCompute project.
