Is anyone paying for Openstack support and getting good value for your money? Can you contact someone for help with an issue, and get a useful response in a reasonable time? If you have an emergency, can you get help quickly? If so, I would like to hear about your experience.<br class="">
<br class="">
Who are you getting good support from? Do they support your operating system too? If not, where do you get your OS support, and how good is it?<br class="">
<br class="">
If you work for a company that provides openstack and/or Linux support, you are welcome to send me a sales pitch, but my goal is to hear from operators.<br class="">
