Open Stack

Hi Tyler,
I read the Forbes article for background
(http://www.forbes.com/sites/benkepes/2015/03/24/good-bye-vmware-hello-opens
tack-paypal-axes-virtualization-giant/). It¹s an interesting read for its
analysis of the potential impact on VMware.

Both articles say that PayPal is contributing code to OpenStack. So, it
appears that they have an in-house effort rather than buying some one¹s
distro. However, that is a guess since contributing code doesn¹t preclude
PayPal from also using someone¹s distro or Mirantis from helping them via
consulting. 

All,
Does anybody have inside scoop?


Regards,
Michael

I was under the impression that Mirantis was involved.

Hi Dilip,
The article seems to indicate that it is an in-house effort.

Yes impressive (also published by Forbes). Would be interesting to know ...
-  which OpenStack release is deployed? commercial or built in-house?

Thanks
Dilip
