Do you want to get started with OpenStack?

Well, I do and the *best* information I have found thus far are the VMware Professional’s vBrownbag videos to get a good overview. Check them out in iTunes at:

Start with the “Intro to OpenStack Part 1 and 2” by Michael Metral of RackSpaceĀ dated Feb 19, 2013 and Feb 26, 2013. Then there are episodes on major OpenStack projects mixed in with a lot solid VMware technical information.

Amazon leads the commercial public cloud space.VMware leads the commercial private cloud space.and Openstack is the Linux-like revolution to both those commercial juggernauts.

I just like leveraging *free* stuff. So, I’m headed deeper into that cloudscene.
