Starting your open source cloud journey requires the right open source partner. The bigger and better the ecosystem, the more opportunities and choices you’ll have on your platform. Whether you’re looking to scale up with simplicity, utilize automation, take advantage of a unique community or partner with a cloud provider to reach your goals, there’s a lot to consider when you’re building a cloud environment.

Keep reading to learn precisely why OpenStack is the world’s most widely deployed open-source cloud infrastructure software and why you should consider building your cloud environment on OpenStack.

Scalability

When you can adjust your computing capacity depending on the needs of your business then you have the right amount of scale and flexibility to succeed. The high demand of heavy workloads can be easily accommodated via virtual servers. The ultimate agility and flexibility of an OpenStack powered cloud are conducive to a health cloud capacity.

Automation

OpenStack’s powerful tools allow for many tedious tasks to become automated, thus freeing up more time to be allotted to more pressing areas of the business. Therefore, application management with OpenStack is simplified. Furthermore, you have the ability to quickly develop and take applications to production as more processes are automated. Efficiency is a key result of this benefit, along with a faster release cycle.

Benefit From A Vibrant Community

One of the significant benefits of OpenStack is the unique community of users and developers that are a fundamental part of it. The OpenStack community goes so much further than just standard IT, it provides integral help to academic research, telecommunications, governments, and even the entertainment industry. Solutions and documentation are easily accessible through an OpenStack portal and developers are constantly working to improve OpenStack and fix bugs whenever they occur.

From global summits to diverse groups within the community, the OpenStack community only continues to grow and improve the open-source cloud operating system.
