 Good morning OpenStack. Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Mark Collier. Once again, Soul Track Mind, our amazing house band. Give it up. Another local Austin favorite. Speaking of Austin, it's amazing for me as someone who lives here to be able to for once not travel to the summit and have you all come here. And one of the most amazing stats every summit is just how far away people travel from. And we have people from over 60 countries here. So it's really awesome for me to be able to welcome you to my city and hope you're all enjoying it. I've seen a few people worried about how many steps they're getting in. Just keep in mind we will be feeding you barbecue later. So we're going to keep it balanced out. And speaking of all the people traveling from all over the world, we have a lot of people here from China. And one piece of breaking news we had this week is that a couple of innovative startups from China, United Stack and Easy Stack are the newest gold members of our foundation. So we're really excited that they're joining the foundation this week. Huge opportunity in China and they're helping us get there. So I want to talk about infrastructure. Hopefully you're interested in infrastructure. If not, you may be in the wrong conference. But I believe I think there's a lot of demand that's just growing very rapidly for infrastructure. So first I just want to talk about a few of the reasons for that. I think everybody knows that connected devices are growing. But if you think about some of these estimates, Cisco actually estimated 50 billion devices all over the world will be connected by 2020. So just four years from now. So what's driving that? Obviously connected cars are growing very rapidly. We heard from Volkswagen yesterday, you know, roads and cities. We're actually going to be seeing a demo in a little while about some of the connected city and smart city work that's going on all over the world. And of course, medical devices, increasingly changing the landscape for the medical profession. But what do these all have in common? You know, our lives are changing rapidly, but we still need to process store and move data. So the basic fundamental infrastructure needs are the same. They're just growing very rapidly. And how rapidly? Well, Mark Thiel, who's an analyst that it's looked at a lot of data center information and forecasted thinks that these new connected devices are going to require 400 million new servers by 2020. And so that's a lot of servers. If I think I see a couple of Dell and HP reps, you know, just hoping this comes true. But the fact is that the real challenge to take this on is to think about how to manage that. There's no way you can possibly manage hundreds of millions of new servers the way they've been managed before. And so, you know, we know when we talk to users and we think about the patterns that are emerging to manage servers at scale to power all these new applications. What people want is something that's programmable that gives them access to bare metal virtual machines and containers. We've been hearing that, you know, all week. We heard it at the last summit. And we'll be hearing from a lot of users today that are doing just that. And you know, I think what we believe the role OpenStack can play is as this integration engine. So when we think about the tools and technologies that are going to happen and emerge to manage that massive scale, of course, it's going to be a huge opportunity for OpenStack. And I think we're all excited about that. But the real point I want to make here this morning before we bring out a bunch of awesome users to talk about what they're doing is that we here at the OpenStack community, you know, we can't do it alone. There's no way that just with one piece of software, we're going to be able to solve all these problems and manage scale at that level. You know, we have to look back at some of the past history in terms of how open source projects have come together and created a huge opportunity that's bigger than the other individual projects on their own. So I think of the LAMP stack. Many of you are probably familiar with this. So this is Linux, Apache, MySQL and PHP. So this was the combination where the whole was greater than the sum of the parts. It gave birth to all kinds of web companies, including Facebook and WordPress and Drupal and all kinds of other frameworks and companies. And what was really powerful was that even though these were separate open source projects, users are the ones that identified that if we put these together, even though they're developed in different communities, we can do something really, really powerful. And then because there was clear separation in the stack, you could replace Apache in Gen X or MySQL with Postgres, et cetera. So the real question that this begs is what will be the LAMP stack of cloud? Does anybody know? Because I haven't figured it out yet. I don't think we know just yet exactly what it is. But we're at the point now where we can talk to users and really ask them what they're doing and start to identify the pattern. So we're in this pattern recognition phase, so I need all of you to help me as we look at the users throughout today in the next few days at the summit and beyond to think about what are they doing with OpenStack, but what are the other pieces? Because we have a huge opportunity to identify those patterns, make sure we work really well with other open source projects, and be a part of that 400 million servers that we're going to need to manage in just a few years. So one of the places we look for data to get patterns identified is our user survey. So we do our user survey twice a year. Hopefully many of you take it. I'm sure a lot of you read the results. But in the recent user survey, we asked what technologies OpenStack users wanted to see tightly integrated with OpenStack, working really well in a fuller sense in terms of in their data center to manage it. So containers, no surprise, number one, 70% of people said containers were the most important thing. NFV and SDN, we've heard from a lot of different companies about neutron and networking and what's happening in telco, but also in the big enterprise to network automate, and then bare metal. So we know that that's what our users are looking for, but what are they actually running? So this data speaks to the container piece of it, really more broadly application and management. So things like Kubernetes, Cloud Foundry, I'm sure you all have heard of these, masos, Docker swarm, Cloudify, OpenShift. There's a lot of different choices out there, but people are really starting to dig in and see what meets their needs. And so one of the things that you may look for is which one's at the top. Well, obviously Kubernetes, this by the way is for the past 12 months, so this covers the last two surveys together. It's certainly got a lot of momentum, but I think much like the Republican primary, nobody seems to have over 50%. So the reality here is much like what Jonathan said yesterday, data center diversity. People want a lot of different options. The other thing is interesting, if you add all these up, it actually is more than 100%. Does anybody know why? Because people are running more than one, right? They may be on one OpenStack cloud, but some of their users want Kubernetes, some of them want Cloudify, etc. So that's the reality. And when we think about working with these other communities, people start to wonder, how are we going to get along? How do we make decisions? These are different groups. And I think the same way that the users drove the LAMP stack to become something that was really more valuable than any one project, we have to listen to our users. And at the end of the day, they just want something that solves a problem. And if they can combine OpenStack with two or three other things or more and create value, that's what they're going to do. So when we think about collaboration and our users and listening to them, I thought it would be interesting to just highlight a handful of users and think about what they're doing right now. So we have, of course, users all over the world, large and small. These are not the small ones, though. These are actually the giants of industry. So China Mobile, in fact, each one of these companies is the largest company in their sector, in their market. Walmart's the largest company in the world, period, but obviously the largest in retail as well. China Mobile, I think, is really interesting. Does anybody know how many subscribers China Mobile has? This is the largest in the world, so it's a big number, but probably any guesses? Scott, you look like you're trying to guess. Okay. So they have 800 million subscribers on their mobile network. And they're not only running OpenStack, they're contributing to it. They were one of the top contributors in the metaka cycle. And the point of highlighting these is really to think about how massive of a change the biggest companies in the world are going through to embrace open source. I mean, if you think about the power these companies have had historically, you know, they don't take orders from anyone, right? They're the big dogs of industry. Well, the reality is they're realizing that to survive and thrive in the future, they need to be part of open communities. People from all these companies are here this week. Several of them give keynotes. They're in design summit sessions. You know, like I said, China Mobile, Walmart, we know that a lot of these companies are actively developing and contributing to OpenStack. So they're doing something pretty amazing, and they're really changing their culture. There's a lot of talk about culture yesterday, but I think it's pretty incredible to think about these companies, just these five companies together generate over a trillion dollars in revenue a year and have over five million employees. So to try to move a ship that big is really impressive. And you know, what's really cool from an OpenStack perspective is that these companies running OpenStack, they're serving billions and billions of customers. But you know, why are they doing this? That's the fundamental question. Fundamentally, why are they doing it? And I think what they realized is that something is really at stake for them. If they do not do this, they're going to be in big trouble. Even though we think of them as giant massive companies that they can't fail, there's really no such thing as too big to fail when it comes to the technology industry. You know, these companies recognize that is collaborate or die when it comes to their future. And this is something that I think is kind of amazing to think about companies of that size. But really what I want to leave you with before we start to listen to some users and how they're combining OpenStack with other technologies is how this applies to us. So if these companies can look outside their walls and they can think bigger than their own massive company, and they can engage in open source communities and put together technologies that are bigger than just what they develop in-house, then all of us in the OpenStack community, we should take a lesson from this. We should do the exact same thing. So we should really make sure that we're not just keeping our blinders on, that OpenStack is the only thing that matters. You know, the fact is in that emerging lamp stack, whatever it is, it's going to be OpenStack and a number of other technologies. And this is our opportunity really to collaborate this week and going forward with all these other communities. And what's really exciting to me is that we have people from all those communities here at our summit. So that may be their first summit, if they're coming here from the Kubernetes community or from Cloud Foundry or what have you. So we want to welcome them into our design summit sessions. We want to think about the points of integration, whether it's in the container world, it might be Magnum or Courier or Kola. And we've already had some of those discussions starting this week. And then beyond NFV, we have OPNFV and many other groups. So let's make sure that we're always thinking beyond just what the role OpenStack can play. And we identify that lamp stack for Cloud and make sure we're a big part of this 400 million servers that are coming soon. And so to talk about what one of these users is actually doing, we've got Time Warner Cable. They were a SuperUser finalist in our Vancouver summit. And they're now running OpenStack for quite some time and doing some interesting things beyond OpenStack. So to talk us through it, we've got the Engineering Director of Application Services, Tim Pletcher.
