OpenStack
OpenStack is open-source cloud computing service that started in
2010 when NASA and Rackspace Hosting joined together to form the technology as a way to allow for anyone to be able to offer cloud computing services.
OpenStack has several components for different uses including Nova (cloud computing), Swift (cloud storage), Glance (image delivery/registration), Keystone (identity), and Horizon (dashboard). Many resources are offered to help users install and use OpenStack, such as installation instructions, an answers area, a bug reporting area, IRC channels, and mailing lists.
