    What is OpenStack?OpenStack is a cloud operating system that controls large pools o1 compute>

    storage> and networking resources throughout a datacenter> all managed through adash/oard that gi(es administrators control while empowering their users to

    pro(ision resources through a we/ inter1ace.

    *he OpenStack project is a glo/al colla/oration o1 de(elopers and cloud computing

    technologists producing the open standard cloud computing plat1orm 1or /oth pu/lic

    and pri(ate clouds. *he project aims to deli(er solutions 1or all types o1 clouds /y
