Unless you live under a rock, you will be aware that Cloudscaling co-founder (and now Acting CEO) Randy Bias wrote an Open Letter to the OpenStack community last week which ignited a Web-wide debate on OpenStack’s direction and strategy. Since OpenStack is now three years old, such a debate on The State of the Stack is only to be expected, and ought rightly to be welcomed. But in the world of IT infrastructure as in all other walks of life, not everyone has the same point of view. In the case of the OpenStack community, the diversity of opinion has been especially broad.
