The wikipedia page isn't exactly clear, to me. I see that it's cloud computing, and that rackspace and NASA are involved. Sounds good! What is, or is not, openstack? What are some use cases? Can it be used for something cpu intensive, to take the load off the local machine? For example, bitcoin mining? Presumably there would be a cost. Can I use it with docker, or some similar container, for a web service? Does my local machine need to be on for such a web service to be available? thanks, Thufir _______________________________________________ Mailing list: http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack _______________________________________________ Mailing list: http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack
