OpenStack Aims to Enable a Composable and Cloud Native World

BOSTON — OpenStack has long billed itself as an integration engine enabling organizations to plug into different technologies. At the OpenStack Summit here, Mark Collier, Executive Director of the OpenStack Foundation, explained and demonstrated in a keynote address why it’s important to embrace composable and cloud native infrastructure.

“Composable means built to work together with other components of the system,” Collier said. “Cloud native means every project is built with the assumption  there will be programmable infrastructure that applications can rely on.”
