No.. Openstack is more like an open source EC2, AMI situation.
See here for available images, and of course you can build your own.
http://docs.openstack.org/image-guide/

So you can launch debian, redhat, windows etc.

I believe it has begun to add features to control deploy and manage
containers. Containers however were not the original focus. An open source
competitor to AWS is probably an accurate description of the project.
