Monitor and Manage Your OpenStack Cloud on the Go!

Technology is advancing rapidly, and the marriage of mobile technology and virtualization is the next cornerstone towards the world of tomorrow. With this in mind, we combined OpenStack, Apple's Swift Language, and mobile devices to help realize how cloud technology will be used in the years to come.

With OpenStack mobile, our goal is to bring greater productivity for OpenStack administrators, to bridge the gap between masters and novices of cloud management, and to make the cloud a more seamless part of our daily lives. Mobile accomplishes this by making cloud more accessible and more manageable for all.

Key features:

  • Decrease service downtime from anywhere responding to situations immediately from your mobile device
  • Ease of access enhances the user experience for your OpenStack Cloud providing essential tools in a mobile-friendly format
  • Gain control over your cloud computing bottom line using mobile devices to track pertinent environment information and cost consumption

What can I expect to learn?

What we will cover in this session:

  • Overview of the application and practical real world use cases
  • Advantages of mobile development using Apple's Swift Language 
  • Live demonstration of the application: view environment health status, provision multiple virtual machines, move servers between networks, and create and delete new users

What the attendees will walk away with:

  • An appreciation for the power of combining multiple open source projects
  • See the user benefits of taking the OpenStack Cloud mobile
  • Instructions on how to set up and run the application
  • Access to the source code repository
  • Firsthand experience with the hottest new Language on GitHub: Swift
