OpenStack public clouds: 7 reasons to become a local cloud service provider
summary
OpenStack is presented as a viable public-cloud stack that cuts TCO enough that, after a break-even point, running your own cloud is cheaper than hyperscalers; Canonical cites 90% the cheapest on price and half its European projects now use OpenStack. Deployments use MAAS and Juju for automated bare‑metal provisioning and operations, moving toward MicroStack (Sunbeam) for near-zero ops. Case studies: a Pakistan public cloud and a hydro‑powered HPC cloud went from two founders to production in ~2.5 years and run successfully with multi‑DC installs and 24x7 managed support.
