This week\u2019s announcement of a new investment of $100 million into the \u201cpure play\u201d OpenStack company Mirantis may herald a breakthrough in accelerating OpenStack\u2019s potential and mitigating its disappointment.<\/p>\n<p>The investment, which will manifest itself in terms of both equity and spending, was led by Intel as part of its \u201cCloud For All\u201d strategy.

Few enterprises have the on-site talent and resources to make much use of it. <\/p>\n<p>Mirantis fills this void by providing its own OpenStack distribution, as well as connections to an ecosystem and the services, training, and support needed to achieve success with OpenStack. <\/p>\n<p>In the world of Cloud Foundry, Altoros is navigating similar waters (although it does not offer a separate distribution), focusing on its ability to enhance the raw platform as the entry point and gravitational center of designing, deploying, and managing modern cloud-computing initiatives.<\/p>\n<p>OpenStack has been widely touted since its initial availability in the summer of 2010, due to the high profile of its co-creator NASA and a customer list that features eBay, Yahoo, PayPal, and Walmart.<\/p>\n<p>But it\u2019s been a difficult slog, with a large and unwieldy OpenStack Foundation board, accompanied by profound and lingering questions about how OpenStack should connect with public-cloud vendors. The debate started two years ago with a very public call to action by the former Cloudscaling CEO Randy Bias to actively embrace AWS. It continues to this day, with Microsoft Azure (and to some degree, Google Compute Engine) entering the discussion.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re interested in more detail about this backstory, here are links to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The <a href=\"http:\/\/cloudscaling.com\/blog\/cloud-computing\/openstack-aws\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">original call to action<\/a> in 2013 by Randy Bias<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cThe community controls the direction of the project, and it\u2019s time we advocate a public cloud compatibility strategy that is in all our best interests, not just those of a single, albeit substantial, contributor. Failing to make this change in strategy could ultimately lead to the project\u2019s irrelevance and death.\u201d \u2014Randy Bias<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<ul>\n<li>An <a href=\"http:\/\/cloudscaling.com\/blog\/openstack\/the-future-of-openstacks-ec2-apis\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">update<\/a> from Randy from earlier this year<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cDuring the \u201cdebate\u201d that occurred in 2013, I was frequently bemused by the attempts of community members to downplay the importance of the EC2 APIs. I think it\u2019s all settled down now and generally accepted that we want the EC2 APIs to live on and succeed in OpenStack-land and hopefully we\u2019ll even support other APIs down the road.\u201d \u2014Randy Bias<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<ul>\n<li>A debate between Randy Bias and Mirantis executive Boris Renski in 2013:<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><center><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/W7H5zFWUSVI\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/center><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cAny system has to have its own native API. Doesn\u2019t preclude you from making an effort to be cross-compatible with other platforms.\u201d \u2014Boris Renski<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Open_is_the_way_to_go\"><\/span>Open is the way to go<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Most certainly, I believe the open innovation is the way to go. An open technology\u2014whether a language, operating system, platform, framework, or infrastructure\u2014allows for a variety of service and support options, which is actually the key factor in avoiding vendor lock-in. Innovation-by-community ensures that all ideas\u2014whether ultimately good or bad\u2014are given the oxygen to succeed. <\/p>\n<p>With the amount of data being generated worldwide already in the tens of thousands of exabytes and doubling every three years, it\u2019s clear that the technology community faces an enormous challenge in creating systems and methods equal to the task of effectively handling this amount of information. This challenge cannot be met in a world of closed, proprietary, stovepiped approaches to innovation. <\/p>\n<p>Thus, some key investors have decided to risk another $100 million on a company that continues to pursue an open path. The ostensible reason is to help drive Intel\u2019s campaign. Beyond that, perhaps there must be hope for Mirantis to take OpenStack to new levels. The lack of a single, dominant OpenStack vendor\u2014as with Red Hat and Linux\u2014has been cited as the reason OpenStack hasn\u2019t been a huge breakout technology.<\/p>\n<p>Matt Asay from InfoWorld <a href=\"https:\/\/www.infoworld.com\/article\/2919272\/openstack-cant-carry-the-private-cloud-without-aws.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">mentioned this earlier in the year<\/a>.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201c(The term) \u2018hybrid\u2019 has become the rallying cry for vendors ill-prepared to compete with the likes of Amazon and Microsoft, and for companies too wedded to the idea of their own private data centers to take off the cloud training wheels and move to the public cloud.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Matt also cited Gartner analyst Alan Waite, who has stated that OpenStack is &#8220;our current best hope for a private workload control layer able to operate across technology silos\u2026(it provides) a control plane and API for compute in much the same way that software-defined networking and software-defined storage are beginning to do for networks and storage.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>But Alan Waite <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.gartner.com\/alan-waite\/2015\/04\/13\/private-cloud-use-cases\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">has also written<\/a> that the universe of use cases for OpenStack is limited, and that the technology, must be considered in tandem with public-cloud options in a hybrid universe, and must be scoped out properly:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cThe key to success for your private workloads is to understand the use cases you are addressing with your private cloud initiative, and to do just enough and only as you need it.\u201d \u2014Alan Waite<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_to_do\"><\/span>What to do?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>OpenStack deployments still number in the hundreds, after five years of highly touted market presence, an active Foundation, and an annual event that draws upwards of 5,000 people.<\/p>\n<p>I wonder whether Alan Waite\u2019s point about a lack of use cases represents a Catch 22 situation: a lack of use cases is limiting the creation of new use cases.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps the complexity of a full-on OpenStack engagement limits the potential use cases to only those that are massive. The customer list above would indicate this.<\/p>\n<p>This situation mirrors that of Cloud Foundry, which until recently, has been recommended only for very large enterprises trying to do very significant things. Recent development on Cloud Foundry Lattice aims to bring CF to smaller deployments. Lattice, along with the evolving Cloud Foundry Diego also addresses another emerging technology trend, the use of Docker containers. A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.altoros.com\/blog\/are-diego-and-docker-really-good-friends\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">blog post<\/a> earlier this year by Lev Berman at Altoros addresses the issues.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;As I talk about Diego and Docker, I can\u2019t simply skip Lattice\u2014a project that is now a better friend of Docker than Cloud Foundry Diego.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Cloud Foundry has long had a connection with OpenStack, through the widely used (and often reviled) BOSH tool chain. A couple of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.altoros.com\/blog\/how-to-add-bosh-support-to-a-custom-cloud-part-1-bosh-components\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">relevant articles<\/a> on BOSH and OpenStack were published recently by Alexander Lomov at Altoros.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Back_to_the_100_million\"><\/span>Back to the $100 million<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Analyst Ben Kepes wrote a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.computerworld.com\/article\/2974591\/cloud-computing\/how-much-cash-does-one-vendor-need-mirantis-pulls-in-another-100m-funding.html?utm_content=buffer749fa&#038;utm_medium=social&#038;utm_source=twitter.com&#038;utm_campaign=buffer\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">newsy piece<\/a> about the investment for Computerworld.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cMirantis has seen some high-profile success&#8230;All that success, and the pot of gold the company is amassing, bodes well for Mirantis\u2019s future.\u201d \u2014Ben Kepes<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The question for Cloud Foundry users is whether this bodes well for the future of OpenStack, for private cloud, for the use of private cloud within hybrid cloud deployments and operations, and for the future of Cloud Foundry. My take is that it does. <\/p>\n<p>The current investment climate in Silicon Valley and other technology regions is sometimes compared to the overheated height of the dot-com era. The critical difference, in my view, is that today\u2019s investments are going for companies that are providing, enabling, and\/or using significant amounts of operational infrastructure. <\/p>\n<p>The data growth being fueled by mobile devices (and the apps and services that feeds them), and soon enough by an emerging Internet of Things era, is real. It must be supported, and it must be supported by distributed, scalable, agile deployments. <\/p>\n<p>The new investment in Mirantis is a part of this larger picture. The members of the Cloud Foundry Foundation must simply do their part to develop CF to reach as wide a region of the cloud as possible, as deeply as possible, and make IT management at all levels and at all companies aware of its ability to drive an agile environment while avoiding lock-in to a single, underlying infrastructure provider.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>OpenStack has been saddled with the image since its debut five years ago of simultaneously possessing great potential and experiencing great disappointment.
