Is anyone in the startup world using OpenStack? If so, how is it working for you? I'm always skeptical of abstractions but it'd be great to hear about any re

  Yes. It runs. Its a VM. I can add and delete and image. Remotely. Its admin system is all REST(ish) and I did have a fully working auto-build system till they changed it and I have to rebuild (known API breaker, well telegraphed, unlikely to be more, I was just lazy)

  Not in the startup world, but I've used it quite a bit. I'm a big fan. It's pretty trivial to get a basic system up and running and your basic functions for creating, controlling and destroying instances work flawlessly. In general, core services are quite reliably and reasonably documented. I've managed to create some sticky problems fooling with Quantum [1] when it was still in incubation, but nothing a little digging couldn't resolve. 1: https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Quantum#What_is_Quantum.3F https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Quantum#What_is_Quantum.3F
