OpenStack isn't a redhat project, it is contributed to by a large number of players. Redhat, SUSE and Canonical all provide their own OpenStack service subscriptions, but one can easily deploy OpenStack with a project like OpenStack Kolla. I run it at home and it is great.

OpenStack is an over-complicated mess. Most enterprise IT orgs already struggle to hire the people with skills to operate a public cloud account, nevermind having to build the underlying infrastructure as well.

I suppose it is complicated, just a homelabber here, but I don't think it's that bad. I deployed my cluster at home using kolla, and I've had relatively few hiccups that non-sysadmin/non-coder me couldn't get around. I've had the same cluster going for a few openstack releases now. Kolla really makes it easy.

That said before I found Kolla I did deploy openstack manually a few times before messing things up and having to restart.
