“Dholakia also claimed that OpenStack does not support the
Amazon APIs, which would make for a compatibility challenge. In his
view, OpenStack is interested only in establishing its own set of
cloud APIs as opposed to working with existing industry
specifications. OpenStack executives, however, disagree.“We have had Amazon compatibility since the beginning,” Jonathan
Bryce, chairman of the Project Policy Board for OpenStack told
InternetNews.com. “In the most recent OpenStack release, there were
about 150 contributions to the Amazon APIs from 24 developers. So
it’s definitely a part of OpenStack that is alive and well.”
