‘Hybrid Cloud is everything’ | #OSSV15

OpenStack Silicon Valley was all about the Cloud and major shifts that are taking place in the industry. Cutting straight to the point, John Furrier and Jeff Frick, cohosts of theCUBE, from the SiliconANGLE Media team, sat down with Monty Taylor, director of OpenStack innovation with IBM, to talk about his move to IBM and the Cloud opportunities that are becoming more available with the evolution of the technology.

The Cloud is a ‘mindset, an opportunity’

The question of the day from John Furrier was, “What is the deal with hybrid Cloud?”

“I think it is a mindset and an opportunity,” explained Taylor, who runs a team of developer infrastructure on top of OpenStack – two public and one private OpenStack Cloud – as if it is all one infrastructure. One of the key capabilities of this setup is moving workloads – creating computer sources across all.

“Hybrid Cloud is everything!” he said. “You want the freedom as a person that is running an application, as a person that is running an IT organization, to understand your workload, to understand your application needs and to be able to utilize the resources that you’ve got in a way that makes the most sense for those things.”

You can hear more about OpenStack, the hybrid Cloud, and how the changing infrastructure actually provides more freedom for developers and business owners by watching the full interview below.
