And I have been asked by my manager to help a different team and I am still waiting 10 days later to get access to the necessary AWS account.

These kinds of problems are organizational, not technical. Thinking cloud solutions solve organizational issues magically is naive and delusional.

We actually agree on this point.

Using OpenStack is actually not a silver bullet and won't solve this problem. This is an organisational problem.

So my point still stands that OpenStack is lacking in services and is not fit for complex applications if you do not want to reinvent the wheel every day.
