      OpenStack’s open APIs make it easy to integrate with numerous solutions. This gives organizations the flexibility to add components from multiple vendors onto their deployments.

      Since its launch in 2010, more than 500 companies have formally joined the OpenStack project.

According to OpenStack’s most recent user survey, hybrid cloud was one of the most sought-after technologies.

      OpenStack easily integrates with other cloud-native technologies, including Google Kubernetes, which has emerged as the front-runner in the container orchestrator market. According to the most recent OpenStack survey, 42 percent of users are managing their applications with Kubernetes.

      Upgrading to the latest version of OpenStack often is a challenging process. Many organizations are hesitant to shift their workloads to the latest OpenStack release for fear of unexpected downtimes. Having your OpenStack deployment managed by a third party that handles upgrades greatly reduces any risk of data loss or other issues.
