OpenInfra Summit: From Sovereignty to Resilience – The OpenStack Comeback Comedy
The OpenStack community isn’t just about sovereignty; it’s about resilience, said Thierry Carrez at the OpenInfra Summit. While dependence on US hyperscalers is scrutinized, OpenStack’s focus on infrastructure is timely. As the AI bubble looms, the community remains steadfast, proving resilient despite shifting strategies and geopolitical challenges.

Hot Take:
Forget about taking over the world, OpenStack is more interested in making sure it’s not taken over by anyone else. With sovereignty being the buzzword du jour, the OpenInfra Summit reminded us all that independence is the best kind of freedom – even if it means doing a live demo that might just go wrong. Let’s hear it for OpenStack, the drama-free hero we didn’t know we needed!
