Hi Krish,

I can answer a few of your questions in line.

There is not an exact report that shows OpenStack market share, but there are a lot of statistics about the growing footprint of OpenStack-powered clouds that we collect from the OpenStack user survey (openstack.org/user-survey). 

- There are currently over 25 million compute cores of OpenStack in production
- There are over 180 public cloud data centers running OpenStack 
- The market for OpenStack is over $7.7 billion USD (source: 451 Research, Market Monitor, Open Source Software, OpenStack 2019) 

We are planning to publish a new report later this year highlighting the current landscape of OpenStack adoption. Since the survey is opt-in, it is not comprehensive of all OpenStack use cases, but it gives a pretty good picture of the evolution and maturity of deployments.

The OpenInfra Foundation doesn’t directly provide support, but we have an OpenStack Marketplace (openstack.org/marketplace) where we work with our members to highlight their OpenStack-powered products. This list is not comprehensive, but it’s a great directory of OpenStack-powered products.

Please let me know if you have any questions on any of the above resources / data points that I shared.
