OpenStack from a Microsoft perspective

Big tech events are always an invaluable source of information.  My favorites are TechEd, Build, OpenStack summit, BlackHat, Def Con, Velocity, etc… It is not realistic to attend in person all events around the world but online you can easily google for videos, slides, source code and any kind of information.

In the last TechEd 2014 conference, sessions available here, something grabbed my attention:  Microsoft CloudOS vs OpenStack. I could not resist, so I started to watch…..

The presentation starts with an interesting overview of the current cloud platform ecosystem.
The slide below shows a comprehensive view of all the releases of the different platforms:


Then it continues with a comparison of the different communities……


 Finally, there is also a side by side feature/releases comparison of the two platforms:




The presentation ends with the following considerations:
“A successful CloudOs deployment may make you feel like a Rocket Scientist….”
“A successful OpenStack deployment will meke you feel like a Nuclear Physicist….”

I intentionally don’t explain or comment the above sentence because I invite you to watch the full presentation at 


Have fun and stay tuned!
