# OpenStack

## OpenStack

> Open source software for creating private and public clouds. OpenStack software controls large pools of compute, storage, and networking resources throughout a datacenter, managed through a dashboard or via the OpenStack API. OpenStack works with popular enterprise and open source technologies making it ideal for heterogeneous infrastructure. [Homepage](https://www.openstack.org/)

## Openstack Governance

> *The OpenStack project is governed by three separate governance bodies, formally defined in the OpenStack Foundation bylaws.* [Homepage](https://governance.openstack.org/)

## OpenStack Application Programming Interface

> Stages of learning to develop applications to run on OpenStack. [Development resources for OpenStack clouds](https://developer.openstack.org/)
