  I am biased[1], but the OpenStack story is pretty good. Running it is always going to be more than "apt install openstack" - but there has been pretty good improvements in installers. Juju (linked below), OpenStack-Ansible, or openstack helm all make deployment possible. The end user story has been pretty consistent for a while, with additions for newer features, and high performance hardware always in the pipeline. A lot of the horror stories from the early days were people expecting free, fire and forget ESXi - which it is not. 1 - I have been a project team lead on one of the sub projects for ~ 4 years, and more recently sit on the Technical Committee.
