Haiti is again at particular risk from this, as more than 60% of the country has hillside slopes greater than 20%. Finally, weak institutional capacity and financial resources limit Haitiâs ability to coordinate effective responses to natural disasters and to take sufficient adaptation measures.
What is OpenStack? OpenStack is an open source cloud computing software platform. OpenStack consists of projects that control pools of storage, computing and networking resources throughout a data center. This data center can be managed through a web-based interface, command-line tools, or through a REST API.
Openstack is basically a bunch of tools to setup a large-scale virtualization environment... where you can quickly create & manage virtual machines through a GUI, and keep track of what is going on. It's another framework similar to Amazon's EC2 and S3 services. There are others similar to this, like Eucalyptus and CloudStack.
