 Welcome to day two of OpenStack Summit. Now please bring to the stage Mark Collier. Morning, OpenStack. I appreciate everybody getting in here so early. I definitely would like to thank Piston for providing the buses directly from the party to the keynote. For those of you who've been up all night, I think that was a nice gesture. So I think we continue to see just incredible growth in OpenStack. And clearly some of you need to review some of the other releases. So I thought it would be fun to go back through and look at our first nine releases and talk about how OpenStack's evolved, and then really turn and think about the next nine releases. I think we're really at the very beginning of a whole industry transformation of every industry. I want to talk a little bit about that. And so if we look at the road to Icehouse, Icehouse was our ninth release, as you may know, just released a few weeks ago. And a lot of user input went into that. A lot of people who started with earlier versions and went through a lot of the hard times early on who became super users and really helped us influence it with things like live upgrades and really helped make the future upgrades a lot easier. In just under four years, we had nine releases. And so this is a little animation we put together that actually shows you a lot of the development activity. So starting with Nova, the compute service, and object storage. So those were the first two components that were part of OpenStack in the Austin release. You may even recognize a few of these names. They get a little bit harder to read as the OpenStack grows. But folks like Jesse Andrews and Todd Wiley, AKA The Beard, a lot of the early OpenStack pioneers were really working tirelessly to make those early versions of OpenStack. And we quickly added Glance, the image service, which came in the bear release. That was the second release. And over time, we have expanded the scope of OpenStack. And there's been a lot of discussion about that. How do we go about making those decisions? Are we adding the right things? Is it getting too big? Neutron, the networking piece came in next, and Horizon. And what's important to note here is that this is actually the start of the development activity. So the development activity actually starts well before it ever makes it into an integrated release. Particularly with the more recent releases, many of the new capabilities, the new projects, they were in development for two years before they actually became part of a release. And this can be a challenge for all of us, trying to follow along, keep score at home. What's in OpenStack, what's not. And we're also very lucky to have an amazing number of different components, different OpenStack-related open source projects. A lot of them are here today. We're helping to bring those communities together. They're not part of OpenStack, but they may be part of an OpenStack-powered cloud. And so I thought it would be good to kind of just review what's in OpenStack, what are the different projects. And we have this kind of fun animation to see how the different projects evolve over time. And so one of the things that we've done, and as I said, the more recent releases is with the leadership of the technical committee, our project technical leads who are all elected by all of you out in the community, all the active contributors, we've really started to raise the bar higher and higher for what it means to be in an integrated release. And if you think about what it took to be in the Austin release, pretty much just needed to be able to spell Austin. Bear, we didn't even actually require that you know how to pronounce bear. So if you said Bexar or Bear, we counted both because it was early days, Cactus and beyond. But if you think about what we're actually doing today, we've added Horizon, the dashboard, Keystone, which is identity service, Heat and Solometer, which are orchestration and metering systems. Now these are all capabilities that are instrumental to operating an infrastructure as a service. And a lot of people have wondered, about the scope of OpenStack, but if you think about it, it's been four years and nine releases. We now have these 10 key components that are part of the integrated release. They're all really things that fit together. An integrated release means things that we're trying to test together that operators have told us, don't just give me a bucket of parts, test these things together. Today, with the summit format, a lot of the discussions, we actually had a full day on cross-project testing, working together to make sure that in the real world, these projects work well together. And if you even look at Icehouse versus Havana six months ago, we've actually now have over 50 external testing systems to test things like drivers. And we had two in Havana. So I do believe that we've grown very rapidly as a community, but I think that we're putting some good measures in place to make sure that we're not expanding the scope of OpenStack too fast. But there's always room for debate and that's what we love about the summits. So when we think about this massive growth, this shows you the monthly average contributors. We actually have over 2,000 contributors in total. But it's no secret, this is the biggest summit we've ever had. We have more users than ever. We have Wells Fargo, Disney. We're gonna hear from AT&T in a little bit and Sony and others. What I'm always asking myself is why? Why is there more interest in OpenStack than ever? This summit, we have 4,700 people here. It's 50% bigger than the last one six months ago. You know, why is that? And I believe it has a lot to do with this massive transformation going on in the entire economy. There's a revolution going on inside of global corporations. And every company has to move faster. Every company's now competing with a startup. Even the startups have to worry about the new startups coming in behind them. I mean, you think about Uber. I don't know how many of you are familiar with Uber, but they're really disrupting the whole taxi transportation industry. And then you have Lyft, which has come along to compete with them and even others. So, you know, those have been driven by the power to innovate at speed with agile infrastructure. So I believe that the cloud computing and open source, those are the two biggest drivers of this new competitive landscape. And that's because people want speed. Speed is the name of the game. I'm not sure how many of you get this, but he was involved with speed. So how many of you here wish that your company could move faster? Any show of hands? I know a lot of you have your VPs nearby, so you might not wanna raise your hands. How about this? How many of you want your company to move faster than your competitors? Yeah? Seems to prick a popular idea. You know, I think that we all wanna move faster than we did last year, the year before that. And, you know, the reality is that if your organization is not aligned around moving faster, too bad. You know, if your people and your organization don't have the right skills, you're gonna have to hire. I mean, how many people here are hiring? Pretty much everybody. So, you know, you're gonna have to get training. You know, if your CIO said to you, don't use the cloud, you know, too bad, you're gonna use it anyway, right? Because that's the competitive landscape that every single company on the planet is in. I mean, that is the only path to money these days. Wells Fargo, excuse me, Chris from Disney yesterday, said that in the old paradigm, you had to choose between cost and quality and speed, and really it's all about speed now. Speed can actually get you to those other things. You have to prioritize speed. And I think that we're living in a time when there's more creative destruction going on in every industry than ever before. You know, software is eating the world. Startups are springing up. There's a new incubator every day. And this faster pace is shown here in a couple of data points that I wanted to run through. So, back in the 50s, if you were in the S&P 500, you were gonna be there for a generation. If you work there, your whole career, you'd be there. Your company would be at the top. If you were at the top, you stayed at the top because you were at the top. Momentum being the large, big guy on the block, that was enough. If you look just to the 80s, that shrank to only 25 years. So now, it's no longer a generation that you stay on top. And if you actually fast forward it today, the companies in the S&P 500 are only in it for 18 years. So this speaks to this incredible age of transformation. Everything's happening faster. Software's driving those revolutions. Being big is no longer this great asset. It's all about who can move faster. And if you extrapolate that out and look where we're headed, that means that 75% of the S&P 500 will be replaced by 2027. So, those are the facts. We can all debate what are the drivers. I definitely believe that cloud computing, agile infrastructure, the cost dropping for experimentation, those are the things that are driving it. And I think open source is absolutely a key component of that. And so, open stack being at the intersection of those two things, I think makes us all incredibly lucky. I mean, there's an $80 trillion global economy. Every single aspect is gonna be impacted by this. We're at the very beginning, the first inning, the first down, whatever sport, I don't know a lot about soccer, but whatever happens at the beginning. So, I think that we're all very lucky to be here. 4,500 people, 4,600 people, seems like a giant conference, the biggest one we've ever had. But when we think about how big of a change is happening and how open stack can play a vital role in that, I consider myself extremely lucky to be here with all of you. And I think that we should be thinking about the next nine releases, not just Juno, but thinking about how big this can be of a transformation, how open stack can play that role. In today's race, where faster wins, everything else is a rounding error. And so, open stack is helping so many different companies move faster. And if you're working for a big company right now, you better put your super user cape on, figure out how to reorganize, bring in the right talent, move faster, embrace these agile technologies like open stack and many other related technologies. And so, the three people that we're gonna be hearing from this morning, they are all super users, they are all people who are moving much faster and actually thinking beyond just where we are today and thinking about the next nine releases, thinking about transforming their industries and opportunities that are just bigger than I think we've actually really contemplated with open stack. We think about public private cloud. The first person that's gonna come up and talk to us is Toby Ford. Now, a couple things about Toby. One, he was an early believer in open stack at AT&T. So he was one of, like many of you, probably got the open stack fever, came back, started leading the efforts internally, getting more and more people bought in within his company. They've been running open stack for several years now. They've actually running it in many different data centers. And that powers a lot of services that we all use every day. But the opportunity that he's gonna talk about in his keynote is actually even bigger. It's actually dwarfs the opportunity for when we think about online and web companies. So I'll just leave you with one data point before we bring up Toby. So when we wanna think bigger, thinking about the next nine releases and beyond, let's take a look at this chart. So the very small dot that you probably can't see if you're in the back, that's something called Facebook. That's their revenue. Google is not much further down. So at the bottom here, most people like to figure out where's the biggest opportunity. Mobile telcos, $1.2 trillion industry. And you might not think of open stack as having a whole lot to do with mobile telcos. The rest of the telco business is the second one. So telcos make a lot of money. We probably all pay them a lot of money. The TV industry is being remade by moving faster by someone else we'll be hearing from later. But let's think about how big of an opportunity open stack can play in the entire global economy starting with the telco world.
