The document discusses how the economy is becoming "software defined" as technology decisions are moving to the edges of businesses. It contrasts the old model where IT departments controlled technology with the new model where individuals want more choice and control over the technologies they use. It argues that virtualization was driven by IT departments while cloud computing is being driven by individual workers and businesses seeking more flexibility and control over their IT environments.

Old Model:
Passive
Consumption
• We bought what our vendors sold us
and upgraded when they told us to
upgrade
• We used what our IT department
gave us
• Multi-year product cycles? Yeah, I’m
cool with that
New Model:
I WANT WHAT I
WANT!
• Mix and match every technology in
one datacenter
• Release early and often—
actually…what’s a release? I deploy
to production
• If IT won’t give you what you want,
you’ll find a way to get it

Because OpenStack supports such a broad set of technologies it provides choice on both sides of the line
