Hortonworks today announced it has joined the OpenStack Foundation, which promotes the development, distribution and adoption of the OpenStack cloud operating system. By contributing to the OpenStack ecosystem, Hortonworks hopes to facilitate the adoption of 100-percent open source Apache Hadoop-based solutions in the cloud while supporting the open source community. 
OpenStack consists of developers and cloud computing technologists around the world producing an open source cloud-computing platform for public and private clouds. The OpenStack Foundation provides a set of shared resources for developers and users aimed at growing the OpenStack footprint.
“As our customers investigate big data projects, they are increasingly looking to leverage the agility and elasticity of the cloud for their Apache Hadoop deployments,” said Mitch Ferguson, vice president of business development, Hortonworks. “We remain dedicated to 100-percent open source, enterprise-ready Apache Hadoop, and joining the OpenStack Foundation will help our customers deploy big data solutions on fully open source platforms.”
