In this chapter, we uncovered another concept of the OpenStack ecosystem—big data as a service.

This shows another success of the basic OpenStack architecture design, enabling us to orchestrate several components to expose an analytic stack to operators and users in no time.
We keep growing our OpenStack XaaS capabilities in the next chapter by extending another incubated OpenStack hot project application as a service code Murano...
