Introduction..
• Open Source advocate for the past 10 years.• Actively involved with OpenStack since its
inception..• CTO & Founder GigaSpaces
The leading Hybrid Cloud Orchestration by OpenStack users

What we're not here to discuss..
Is OpenStack ready for production?
The only constant is change
But rather discuss... How to plan your hybrid cloud strategy with OpenStack.
How to manage your application on a hybrid OpenStack environment.
The lessons are based on real enterprise customer experience:● 5000 VMs delivered● Reduced deployment time to hours not weeks, ● Enabling the introduction of 56 new technologies● Enabling the launch of 7 new platforms launched
All in under a year!

Lessons 2: Embrace Change
It’s a world of plenty
The technology stack is going to keep on changing at an even faster pace.
You need a way to keep up with the change and adopt new technologies fast.

Cloud Strategy Goes Beyond a Technology Choice
Technology keeps on changing.
Cloud strategy also involves:
- Culture change- Vendor/partner
relationships- Getting rid of (many)
