The Growth of the Linux and Open Source Channel since 1989
Rackspace in July 2010 announced the launch of OpenStack, an open source operating system for the cloud. It was based on code created by Rackspace for its hosting business, as well as technology from Nebula, a hosting platform used by NASA.
Today, OpenStack faces plenty of competition from other cloud services, but it's not going anywhere anytime soon. By April 2016 more than 110 companies and 1,100 individuals were active contributors to OpenStack, which assures that Linux will have a long future as the basis for cloud platforms.
