Oh for sure. OpenStack is going to be way cheaper in the near AND long term than AWS, if you know what your growth rate will look like. I've said it time and time again on here when 'Cloud' stuff comes up, that you MUST as a company do the math if 'Cloud' or in-house services (Cloud?) will be more reasonable. I think the main pain-point that is being fixed here is that initial setup of OpenStack. I've been doing this stuff for many, many years and it give ME a headache. It truly is that bad (and deploying with Puppet or Chef only lessens the pain while adding different layers of complexity).
