OpenStackmanaged

OpenStack Managed refers to cloud computing solutions where a third-party provider takes responsibility for the management and operation of an OpenStack cloud infrastructure on behalf of a customer. This service model alleviates the burden of day-to-day administration, maintenance, and upgrades from the end-user organization. Instead of building and maintaining their own OpenStack private cloud, businesses can leverage the expertise and resources of a managed service provider.

These providers typically handle a range of tasks, including initial deployment, ongoing monitoring, security patching, performance optimization, capacity planning, and troubleshooting. They ensure the OpenStack environment is stable, secure, and performing optimally, allowing the customer to focus on their core business operations and application development. The underlying infrastructure might be hosted in the provider's data centers or on the customer's premises.

OpenStack Managed services are often chosen by organizations that lack the in-house expertise or desire to manage a complex OpenStack deployment. They offer a predictable cost structure and can provide access to specialized skills that might be difficult or expensive to recruit independently. The level of management can vary, with some providers offering fully managed solutions while others provide a more hybrid approach, working collaboratively with the customer's IT team. This allows businesses to benefit from the flexibility and control of OpenStack without the operational overhead.
