Commercial Product Marketing Programs Product contains the OpenStack software, such as public clouds, hosted private clouds, distributions or appliances Hardware or software products that work with OpenStack software, such as management or monitoring tools Companies who offer training programs based on OpenStack curriculum openstack.org/brand
Evolution of “OpenStack Powered” Program • OpenStack Board DefCore committee has spent the last 18 months defining core set of services for interoperability and consistency in the market • This process has resulted in new policy for “OpenStack Powered” technical requirements, which we are introducing this week • Major changes include: • New Compute, Object Storage & Platform programs with different trademark uses • New must-pass API tests and designated sections of code openstack.org/interop
Branding Your OpenStack Powered Product • Go to openstack.org/interop and verify your product meets the interoperability requirements • Go to openstack.org/brand and submit the online form with your product information • Run tests described at openstack.org/interop and submit results to interop@openstack.org • Once test results are validated, OpenStack Foundation will execute license agreement • Incorporate commercial logo and wordmark in your product marketing according to guidelines. Coordinate with Foundation staff to amplify your product launch at openstack.org/news
What if I already have an OpenStack Powered Product? • Going forward all new product launches must be licensed under the new agreements, meet new technical requirements & pass tests • For existing licensees with qualifying products:1) Test now so we can add those results to the Marketplace, ideally before the Vancouver Summit2) Sign updated agreements • Our goal is to ensure that all products listed in the Marketplace are tested, with new licenses signed, by end of 2015
What does this mean? • The goal is to drive interoperability in the market, giving users confidence that commercial products are running a common set of core services • This means a consistent, solid and stable platform for applications, which is ultimately our focus • We want to educate consumers on the meaning of OpenStack Powered so they seek out the logo and look to the OpenStack Marketplace as the definitive listing of qualifying products
Launch & Rollout Plan • Right now, we want to educate the community and get new product launches around the Summit into the new program • Starting at the Vancouver Summit, we’ll roll this out to the broader market and promote the OpenStack Powered program heavily: • Keynote presentation • Press release featuring products that have been tested & results in the Marketplace • Press & analyst briefings • Signage in the physical Marketplace / expo hall
