OpenStack Liberty Design Summit

OpenStack distributions seem to be all the rage these days. At last count, the number of Icehouse and Juno based distributions were in the double digits. OpenStack distributions are gaining preference in the market because they provide pre-packaged OpenStack installers and automation, add reference architectures to simplify the infrastructure choices, and add enterprise class support options.  But beyond the ease of installation and the safety net of support, what else differentiates them?  Which are better for hosting next generation applications such as PaaS and Hadoop?  Which scale better and why? And how about mundane things like upgrades and updates - how straightforward are these operations?

Come join a panel of OpenStack veterans as they provide insight on what they see in the OpenStack distro landscape, why customers are choosing specific distributions, how 3rd party drivers are bundled and certified plus which apps are certified on which distro.
