Sure, but Openstack-based public clouds are in short supply (unfortunately? fortunately?). I think the short explanation is that pure OSS stacks limit providers ability to move fast and differentiate. So it’s a race the bottom for Openstack-based providers. (Rackspace’s gambit was quite different, as they were arguably trying to do exactly that.. comoditize cloud services.)
- bonzini 6y agoNo the short explanation is that no one is able to put in their cloud the same amount of money that Amazon, Microsoft and to a lesser extent Google do.
- amscanne 6y agoI don’t know why you’re disagreeing when you’re making the same argument. If you have the money, you build your own thing, which is better.
