Are You Paying For Support Or Services For OpenStack?

Solution providers will be pleased to hear that a whopping 85 percent of respondents using OpenStack are paying for support or related services to maintain their environment. Respondents say OpenStack can get complicated and take a lot of skills, tools and monitoring to successfully run it at scale.

However, the report expects that percentage figure to decrease over time as OpenStack and the tools for it mature and customers become more expert at open source technology.
