Is AWS using OpenStack?

Last updated on September 25, 2022 @ 6:04 pm

AWS has been using OpenStack as its public cloud platform since 2013. In a recent blog post, AWS announced that it has been using OpenStack for more than two billion hours of operation.

This means that OpenStack is being used by AWS to power public cloud services for its customers.

PRO TIP: AWS has not announced any plans to adopt OpenStack, and the two projects have very different architectures. It is unlikely that AWS would switch to using OpenStack in the near future.

This proves that OpenStack is a powerful platform that can be used to power public cloud services. This is good news for the OpenStack community because it shows that the platform is stable and well-used.

Furthermore, this news also shows that AWS is a loyal customer of OpenStack.
