“Fedora 16 also includes the open source OpenStack cloud
platform, which some industry pundits have seen as being a
competitive technology to Fedora’s Red Hat sponsor. Smith noted
that in the case of Fedora, OpenStack is not a competitor with
Aeolus.“Aeolous and Open Stack are not competitive at all,” Smith said.
“The idea with OpenStack is to have a set of tools that help you
build your own cloud, while Aeolus provides tools to help you
manage virtual machine in an OpenStack cloud or an Amazon cloud or
an IBM cloud. To say they are competitive with each other is an
apples and oranges comparison.”
