#3the article mentions other big players pulling out or cutting jobs/funding related to OpenStack in recent months in addition to this latest move by Intel.
Is this related to some endemic problem with the technology, big egos within the project, dominance by another outside player or what? Cursory searching doesn't reveal any "big thing". Maybe it's just dying a death by a thousand cuts.

I'm at one of the only companies I know of outside Rackspace that's running it in production. We're doing a very poor job of it; we never hit production with any effort to upgrade the cluster in the past three years, so we're still running Havana with Nova Network.
The most likely upgrade path for us right now is VMWare 6.5.

#5Is there any chance that vendors (like Intel) will care less about the API for accessing their products, as there seems to be more consolidation around API's for running applications like Kubernetes. Intel is a member of the CNCF [1] and seems to be putting money behind it. Am I reading too much into that and is Intel just a big company that puts money in lots of places?

#6Is there an alternative out there for OpenStack? Perhaps a minimalist version?

So are we. And so is another department in our org.
Frankly, we're doing a piss poor job of it. Migrations don't happen even if manually ran, the compute nodes are already at capacity, even with the meagre VMs we use.
I have kept pushing for Mesos myself. I see it as a good way forward. Openstack may be a technical good body of code... But in the end its too convoluted codebase and many moving parts to be effective in most deployments.

#9Consortiums are inherently unstable. Marketing interests drive wild swings in participation and funding.
Open governance by individuals is much more stable. That stability benefits both individuals (whose stake is not vaporized when they change employers) and businesses (who are more insulated from impulsive moves by big players).
