About OpenStack

Dig deeper into OpenStack and you’ll find a suite of open-source projects that together form a cloud "operating system" for infrastructure: control over virtual compute, storage, and networking in a data center environment. It is designed for scalability, API-driven operations, and works equally well for private, hybrid, or public cloud deployments.

The idea behind OpenStack is to enable IT organizations to "run their own cloud" on standard hardware without vendor lock-in. The project began in 2010 by Rackspace Hosting and NASA and has grown into a large ecosystem with hundreds of companies and thousands of contributors.

When using OpenStack, you combine multiple components (for example, "Compute" for VMs, "Storage" for block or object storage, and "Networking" for software-defined networking) to assemble your platform. This makes it flexible-but also complex-so it fits teams with technical capabilities that want to build or operate their own cloud infrastructure.
