OpenStack Personas 2015

Introduction
Below are the outcomes from the 2015 OpenStack Persona Workshop hosted at IBM Design's Austin studio and included participants from HP, IBM and Intel. We have identified stages a company needs to go through in adopting cloud technologies; the cloud eco system around OpenStack; and five cloud roles (prototype personas) that are relevant to OpenStack.

However, this is still a work in progress, and we'd love your feedback.

Please look through the five cloud roles we've identified, find the one(s) that you resonate the most, and fill out the survey(s) at the bottom of the persona detail page. You can find the list of personas at the bottom of this page.

Thank you!
