I get the narrative of the article, but I think it is counterproductive to use headlines like this. I have noticed this sentiment that the article author is pointing to ("the world only needs containers", etc) on Reddit and other forums. But the reality is that Openstack is a very capable IaaS platform that does not have a match in the open source space. If you are comfortable using commercial solutions, then yes, there are certainly ones that could compare to Openstack in one aspect or another. But if we are agreeing that open source is good (for the market) in the long term then it would be unwise to think that Openstack is done and over with.<p>My experience is that Openstack opens up the world of cloud infrastructure to organizations that are either very large and therefore have the inclination to own their services and workloads, or organizations that have specific security requirements.<p>Openstack is not going anywhere anytime soon.
