#2I'm very interested to see how this all plays out. Despite their customer service issues, PayPal has a huge ecosystem. I'm curious to see if this speeds up their infrastructure at all, considering that their API and website have been notoriously slow for years.

#5Is anyone in the startup world using OpenStack? If so, how is it working for you?
I'm always skeptical of abstractions but it'd be great to hear about any real world experience.

The article says 10,000 servers, so maybe there's an 8:1 ratio
