I recently decided I needed to run an application on OpenStack Flex to make things real. So naturally, I wrote an application from scratch that's more than just a boilerplate bucket of bolts.

In 2012, Rackspace launched the Rackspace Public Cloud based on OpenStack, and shortly thereafter began delivering private (hosted) clouds based on OpenStack. To say OpenStack runs through our veins is an understatement.
