  Keynote Speech: Let’s Talk About Cloud – The State of the Industry

  

  Cloud computing has brought a new flexibility and agility to IT, perfectly matched to the ambitions of open source. But proprietary protocols some cloud providers impose on APIs, for example, limit the scope of innovative applications.  The OpenStack community is pushing for a truly open cloud environment, with no vendor lock-in, so that the marriage of these two exciting developments – cloud and open source – can naturally produce a host of new applications and solutions. Join Jesse Andrews, Director of Rackspace Cloud Builders and an expert on OpenStack, for a lively discussion on the state of the cloud computing industry, how OpenStack is playing a part in driving cloud adoptions forward and the importance of cloud APIs.
