I would be curious to know how many billions of $ of consulting and operational costs were incurred to boost the $3.4B of revenues. :) I wonder which number is bigger...
You still can't upgrade an openstack cloud, so if you want to go to a new version, you have to build a new cloud and migrate all of your workloads. I am not saying you can't make money with openstack, but I would rather be an openstack consultant than an openstack provider, and that says a lot about the actual technology...
