PublicCloudSIG

Status: Active

Chairs: * Tobias Rydberg  * Felix Kronlage-Dammers 

The aim of this group is to represent the interests of the OpenStack public cloud provider community, and to further adoption of OpenStack public cloud usage.

Purpose

 * Internal: we represent the voice of OS-based public cloud providers towards the rest of OS community
 * External: we represent the OS-based cloud providers towards the market (what are our value strengths), the press (what we think), the customers (what we sell), the other non-OS providers (regulation, fair competition etc) especially valid for EU based ones

Keep "Missing features list" up to date with references to specs, status, commits etc

 * The (legacy) spreadsheet of missing features is now tracked in launchpad: https://bugs.launchpad.net/openstack-publiccloud-wg
 * Convert items in list to specs when needed
 * Keep the spreadsheet for new items and as reference
 * Set the structure for how to work with the list and the specs

Definition
The NIST definition of a Public Cloud as a deployment model is:

"The cloud infrastructure is provisioned for open use by the general public. It may be owned, managed, and operated by a business, academic, or government organisation, or some combination of them. It exists on the premises of the cloud provider."

This is further expanded within the context of this p by the following:


 * Multi-tenant;
 * Offers publicly accessible native OpenStack APIs.
