Software Developer at Marley SpoonVery interesting, but could be better
The fact that it uses readily-available low-level tools, it makes easier to work with it

Using openstack to build public cloud
I like openstack framework and its ecosystem. There a lot of drivers in community, and user can also implement a new one for different vendor. I come from a public cloud computing company in China. We implement different drivers for openstack to let it can manage our own network, virtualization and storage environment.

Staff Software Engineer na IBM - OpenStack DeveloperIt's awesome but it isn't easy
First of all, Openness: It's a free and open source project, if it doesn't contain that awesome feature you wish so much, you have the opportunity to contribute to get it on the project. The community behind it is composed mostly by developers of the hundred cloud companies that support and make use of the project. That means a huge base of users under several vendor's cloud around the world, bringing some reliability to the project. The community cares about avoiding vendor lock-in and thus there are initiatives to assure vendor's openstack cloud compatibility with OpenStack's.
Also, quality assurance (QA) *really* matters in OpenStack. You'll see unit, functional and integration tests, besides a rigorous code review process on every change proposed for every project. Of course it's not bug free, nothing is IMHO but I feel like its community is a huge example of how QA should be done.
It's an abstraction layer to manage all the different services necessary to get a cloud environment up and running, thus you can chose which hypervisor, storage and network kind you want to use (which means that your knowledge on your current infrastructure will be useful using OpenStack as well).
Finally the fast growing ecosystem around it, thanks to the big tent initiative, will provide most of all the services and tooling you may need to deploy or offer a robust cloud environment.

What is OpenStack?
OpenStack is an open-source cloud computing platform that provides a suite of software tools for building and managing public and private clouds. It enables organizations to deploy and manage infrastructure as a service (IaaS) solutions, facilitating the creation of virtualized environments. OpenStack is designed to control large pools of compute, storage, and networking resources throughout a data center, all managed through a dashboard or via the OpenStack API. The platform is highly scalable and is used by a wide array of industries to increase operational efficiencies and flexibility.
