OpenStack is a platform that controls hardware resources such as compute, storage and networking. It allows the creation and management of virtual machines ("instances"), which act like separate individual machines, by emulation in software.

It allows the creation and management of virtual machines ("instances"), which act like separate individual machines, by emulation in software. This allows users complete control over their computing environment, from choosing an operating system to software installation and configuration. This flexibility facilitates diverse use cases from hosting websites to creating a compute cluster by configuring multiple VMs to work together. See official documentation [http://docs.openstack.org/ http://docs.openstack.org/] for more details about OpenStack. OpenStack is the operating system used by the Compute Canada clouds. | ||
