Note: This one will feel a bit live-blogish as well. It being written in a hurry and such.

Today’s keynotes had a bit of a different flavor than yesterdays. While there were still user use cases up front, they took a slightly different tone.

Keynote themes:

There were a few themes that cut across the various keynotes (both the user stories and vendor keynotes):

• OpenStack is huge in China
• 2 of the top 10 cities for ATC are in China
• Focus
• Interop
• Hybrid is a thing.

User Stories
