Welcome to the story of OpenStack, the open cloud infrastructure platform. What started as a joint project of NASA and Rackspace seven years ago, is today a key player in the cloud infrastructure platform field. And what does the future hold? While Gartner called it a “science project” in 2015, in 2017 451 Research Group estimates that:
“OpenStack’s ecosystem will grow nearly five-fold in revenue, from US$1.27 billion market size in 2015 to US$5.75 billion by 2020.”
Its explosive growth in popularity within the enterprise has enabled large, interoperable application architectures and, with this, a need for full stack monitoring of the OpenStack cloud.
