Is VMware Up To With OpenStack?</a></h3>
<p>As a former vSphere and now OpenStack Architect, <a
href="http://cloudarchitectmusings.com/">Kenneth Hui</a> has
been following with much interest the courtship ritual that VMware
has been performing with the OpenStack project. <a
href="https://twitter.com/danwendlandt" target="_blank">Dan
Wendlandt</a> and the entire OpenStack Team at VMware has been
busy courting the OpenStack community at various venues, including
the recent OpenStack Summit. For the Grizzly release, VMware
began contributing code to integrate vSphere with OpenStack; the
code contribution has steadily increased both in quantity and in
scope moving into Havana and continuing into the upcoming Icehouse
release. His views are based on his experience working with VMware
and their products and observing their involvement in the
OpenStack community (he doesn’t work at Vmware nor has any special
inside knowledge).</p>
<h3><a
