No, OpenStack and VMware vSphere are not the same.
OpenStack is an open source platform designed to create and manage cloud infrastructure services such as virtual machines, networking and storage. OpenStack is highly modular and can be customized to fit an organization’s specific needs. The platform is composed of different projects, each with a specific function, such as Keystone for authentication and access control, Nova for managing virtual machine instances and Neutron for network management.
On the other hand, VMware vSphere is a server virtualization platform that allows you to create and manage virtual machines in a data center environment. vSphere is a proprietary VMware product and provides a complete set of tools for server, storage and network virtualization. In addition to server virtualization, vSphere also provides tools for availability management and disaster recovery.
Although both products are used for the creation and management of virtual machines, they have significant differences in their approach and functionality. OpenStack is a highly customizable open source platform, while vSphere is a proprietary product with a wide range of integrated tools for server, storage and network virtualization management.
