4. WHY
WHY WE USE CLOUDSTACK
Open Source Community Development

5. Open Source is ourDNA
•We believe in open source as the only way to achieve secure software
and transparent data security.
•For a sovereign cloud, it is not just the location that is crucial, but also
the question of who operates the cloud and what technology is used.
•Vendor lock-in is slowing down the rate of innovation and limiting
flexibility.
