OpenStack vs Tectonic: What are the differences?

What is OpenStack? Open source software for building private and public clouds. OpenStack is a cloud operating system that controls large pools of compute, storage, and networking resources throughout a datacenter, all managed through a dashboard that gives administrators control while empowering their users to provision resources through a web interface.

What is Tectonic? The smartest way to run your container infrastructure. A CoreOS + Kubernetes platform to run Linux containers.

OpenStack belongs to "Open Source Cloud" category of the tech stack, while Tectonic can be primarily classified under "Containers as a Service".

Some of the features offered by OpenStack are:

  • Compute
  • Storage
  • Networking

On the other hand, Tectonic provides the following key features:

  • Deploy code on a container-native stack
  • Flexible architectures for each app
  • Automatic load balancing for services
