"Accelerating product delivery in the Digital Economy through Continuous Application Lifecycle Management of Cloud-based Workload, backed by @WalmartLabs" I think you could work on that elevator pitch a little - it seems like it's been workshopped by a committee, and doesn't really tell me anything.

I was just about to post the same thing. So much business-speak, no idea what in the world this could be.

I've been reading http://oneops.github.io/admin/key-concepts/ to try and understand what it is. I still have zero idea...

Its a Multi-Cloud Orchestrator. It lets you abstract multiple cloud providers, so you can say use Azure, S3 , Rackspace Openstack, your own openstack and your own VMware all at the same time, and have unified management. At the moment it supports any cloud with a OpenStack endpoint/integration. Blog post: http://www.walmartlabs.com/2016/01/oneops-now-available/

Thank you. Now that you've summarized this, this sounds like a great idea, a good way to kill lock-in on cloud platforms. I don't know why they couldn't write something so simple and concise...

Thanks, they really need to write a simple summary at the very top that anyone could understand. I guess it's really their first time trying to share something (as far as I know) so they must be accustomed to speaking business lingo.

it's looks like just control panel for all your clouds. If you have only aws, i don't see any profit of using this.

As your business grows at some point it may be cheaper to run your own cloud (OpenStack or something else), and you can start migrating your workloads with a PaaS layer like this.

At my previous employer the loaded TCO for running in-house OpenStack was 45-50% of AWS (the company used both).
