Hi,

We are in the process of deploying openstack in our firm but from my (limited) research it seems that OpenStack isn't so popular anymore and that businesses are moving away from it.

Firstly, is this true? If so, what are the alternatives that businesses are moving to?

And as a side note, does any one have any tutorials they can recommend for a newbie?

Thanks!

Edit: Also, how much in depth hardware knowledge does one need to deploy and administer openstack?

I need to cancel my subscription today so I asked ChatGPT for the top 20 audible titles in various genres and was wondering what you guys thoughts.

All the titles marked in bold I have already read or listened to - also if you have any recommendations that dont appear on this list id love to hear about them:
