> an opensource alternative to AWS<p>Just putting out there that OpenStack is open source, already exists, very feature complete, and there are even hosting providers that will give you your own OpenStack control plane and only bill you for the resources you use. Only one provider in the US, but several in Europe.<p>No need to deploy and manage your own clusters on bare metal. They do it all for you and just give you an API, same as AWS. Way better than managing your own stack. The fact that more providers aren't doing this kind of blows my mind. But they probably prefer the proprietary walled garden, easier to keep customers from moving.
