Attendees at Portland’s OpenStack Summit this week have another reason to feel assured of their good judgment in backing the open source cloud operating system: former competitor VMware has kept its word and stated its support for OpenStack by working with Canonical to deploy its software with an OpenStack distribution.
Joshua Goodman, vice president, Product Management, vSphere stated, “By fulfilling our promise to deliver VMware vSphere support in OpenStack, and teaming with Canonical to serve our collective customers, we’re delivering customer choice by providing a powerful platform for those interested in OpenStack clouds.”
