Red Hat kicks Piston out of Red Hat Summit, then performs $13,000 U-turn

Re: I'm suprised

@Trevor_Pott, would love to hear more about your reaction to this. There's been a ton of hype around "easy" openstack installs. Every few weeks, I meet someone that claims that another company has solved the openstack deployment and management issue. A friend of mine that follows openstack very closely for a big company says this: "As for Piston, who cares. They are irrelevant and don't matter. Too small with not enough customers. The real battle is HP, IBM, and Red Hat"

A month ago, I was in a meeting with a large openstack cloud provider and he told me that Red Hat had won the battle. Would like to see the Piston Cloud deployment numbers in a few months.

BTW, I like your insights into all this. Keep um coming.
