In the face of recent trends, like licensing changes and redefining infrastructure for AI, open source communities are continuing to collaborate to evolve the projects behind an $8.8 trillion USD market. Hear how these communities are responding and how Walmart has evolved its OpenStack strategy over the past decade.

Unapologetically Resolute: A Bold Leap into Open Infrastructure
Rackspace Technologies, Headline Sponsor
(10-Minutes)
Join us for a story of breakthroughs, lessons learned, and a vision for an open, unstoppable cloud future. It’s bold, resilient, and definitely not waiting for permission.
From our unorthodox beginnings to shaping the cloud landscape, Rackspace has always embraced the unexpected. In the early days, we were just a small player offering virtual private servers—completely unaware that the cloud revolution was already underway. By 2010, we helped catalyze a shift in how businesses build and manage infrastructure, and yes, we did that without breaking too many things along the way.
Now, we’re pushing boundaries once again! Enter openCenter, our enterprise release of open infrastructure, built on top of game-changing solutions and the best of breed open-ecosystems. openCenter slashes operational overhead, cuts complexity, and gives OpenStack a jolt of modernity for today’s business needs. We've even rolled out a community edition (Genestack) because clouding is always more fun when you're doing it with friends.
