With automation tools such as Terraform, Kolla Ansible and Heat, organizations can automate their OpenStack cloud operations and reduce the time and effort required to manage their cloud environment. When organizations automate many of the functions within their OpenStack cloud, they can benefit from increased agility, scalability, reliability, security, cost savings, and improved customer experience.

OpenStack is an open source cloud computing infrastructure software that can be used to manage and control large scale deployments of virtual machines or to manage storage and networking resources in a cloud. Many organizations are turning to OpenStack because it is scalable, reliable, and grants you a great degree of control over the underlying infrastructure.
