Beyond Refstack: The Interop Challenge

OpenStack is really big on interoperability.  It has a board chartered committee to drive ever more encompassing interop tests and a project to help run those (and soon other) interop test sets.  But, these efforts are painfully limited due to the youthfulness of OpenStack, the software collection.  So, what can we do to aid interop without stepping on toes?  A consortium of companies have agreed to collaborate on (drum roll, please) The Interop Challenge!

The Interop Challenge is using the OpenStack community to create a collection of applications that use the most attainable OpenStack tools (heat and murano) to demonstrate specific workloads for the cloud.  And the challenge is for these community created applications to run successfully across all and any participating vendor's products and/or services.

Come join in the fun!


What can I expect to learn?

Attendees will learn about the Interop Challenge, its current status, how to participate and how to benefit from it.

Thursday, October 27, 11:00am-11:40am (9:00am - 9:40am UTC)
