OpenStack vs AWS: comparing the services
I am comparing between OpenStack [1][2] and AWS services. [3] is all the services of OpenStack. [4] is the comparing document.
I have an experience for AWS. But I do not have for OpenStack. The intent to compare those services is to remember OpenStack services easily mapping with AWS services.
