I-Teco OpenStack Cloud: Summary, Questions, and Survey

    A month ago, the new I-Teco OpenStack Cloud service was launched . Today you can summarize the first results of testing. So what do we see?

    • High demand for the cloud platform for SMB: we planned that at the pilot stage the number of OpenStack Cloud users would not exceed 100, but the calculated threshold was already reached in the first hours of operation. New capacities were quickly connected, which made it possible to provide access to everyone. Some users tested the service even on New Year's Eve!
    • Now more than 1000 users are working with the service.
    • As a result of the scaling, 2,000 virtual machines and more are available for use in the pilot zone - as we grow in demand, we will connect new capacities.
    • For free testing, configurations of any scale were available, but medium configurations became the most popular.

    Thanks to everyone who gave feedback on working with the service, you helped us a lot! To take into account and structure all the wishes, we decided to conduct a survey among those who tested the service . In addition to the answers, you can leave more detailed reviews in the comments to this post. The author of the most useful review and recommendations for the further development of the service will receive a prize - the I-Teco OpenStack Cloud resource pool, the cost of which is equivalent to 10,000 rubles .

    You can take part in the survey until February 1.

    Only registered users can participate in the survey. Please come in.
