DAY 2 MORNING: Deploying OpenStack
Deploying OpenStack Series: When you’re thinking of deploying an OpenStack Cloud there are plenty of decisions to make, from hardware purchases to software integrations. These sessions will answer questions like, “What if I just want to build a Proof of Concept… what’s the minimum recommended configuration? How much automation can I achieve at the bare metal level? What about networking? How do I integrate a private OpenStack cloud into my existing IT infrastructure from directory services to authentication?” Answer these questions and explore considerations with Martin Casado from Nicira Networks, Joe Arnold from Cloud Scaling, and Bret Piatt from Rackspace providing insight and guiding discussions.
