The architecture is still at the early stage, in terms of adoption and technological advance. But, a certain infatuation within major companies is real and is on the encouraging curve.   

However, the OpenStack architecture still suffers of the complexities associated with its implementation and manageability.

 A set of CIO, need, to be convince, when it comes to OpenStack's viability for critical workloads in production environments.

We also remind that, many executives see OpenStack as an interesting concept, but  a lack of skilled staff in-house and potential disruption fears, need to be overcome.

OpenStack is still not attractive enough for the migration of traditional on-premises legacy workloads, but is increasingly considered for test/development environments, and cloud/mobile/web type applications.
