2. Mission Statement
"To produce the ubiquitous Open Source cloud computing
platform that will meet the needs of public and private
cloud providers regardless of size, by being simple to
implement and massively scalable."

3. Why OpenStack?
‣ Control. Open source, no vendor lock in. Apache 2 license.
‣ Flexibility. Modular design integrates legacy and third party technologies.
‣ Emerging Industry Standard. More than 180 technology industry leaders backing it and
major public clouds built on OpenStack.
‣ Proven. Originally built for scale and redundancy at NASA and Rackspace. More than
100 large-scale deployments worldwide.
‣ Compatible and Connected. Enables portability.

4. OpenStack Controls Compute, Storage & Networking

18. Architecture: Horizon

19. Web Dashboard: Horizon
‣ Self-service, role-based web interface for users and administrators
‣ Provision cloud-based resources through a self-service portal
‣ Create and manage projects and users, defining resources available to
them
‣ Extensible design makes it easy to plug in and expose third party
products and services
‣ Django application that consumes APIs
