Right. This part of the article was the most aggrevating for me.
Perhaps the author could refrain from speaking for everybody! OpenStack may be a ruinous rubbish barge of a platform, but others are working on software that seeks to _reduce_ operational complexity. Software that does not exist merely to propel yet another band of consultants into a defeatist, over-priced nightmare cathedral of apparently irreducible complexity and unmitigated unreliability.
Outcomes for customers are extremely important, but it does not follow that software quality is immaterial, or unachievable, or that OpenStack is just as good a choice as anything else -- even if it does come with a consulting racket.
- tobias3 10y agoOne could argue that because all the money is made by consulting, managing upgrades etc. the harder it is to setup, operate and to upgrade the better for the players in the OpenStack space. If the underlying incentives don't coincide with good software you get crappy software.
