How OpenStack became boring (and successful)
summary
OpenStack moves from hype to steady production: adoption rises from ~50% production clouds in 2015 to >75% by 2019, public deployments run ~15 million cores, and analysts project a $7.7B market by 2023. Most clouds remain small (≈70% under 1,000 instances), but stability grows. The CentOS/RDO ecosystem drives the shift by packaging hundreds of repos (300+ OpenStack repos, 400+ deps, >2,000 builds) with automation using Gerrit, the continuous-delivery packager Delorean, and quick-test tool Backstack. RDO maintains many releases with a small team and validates on CentOS Stream with few surprises so far.
