Event Details

You may have heard that event driven automation helps Facebook save 16,000 person-hours in operations each day. Do you ever wonder “How can I can accomplish this with my OpenStack cluster, and what tools will help me do it?" The closest answer you will find is StackStorm - an open-source, Apache 2.0 Licensed, event driven automation platform. StackStorm is built on the same premises as Facebook’s FBAR and used by many to automate their growing infrastructure, private and public cloud deployments, network infrastructure, security, and operations.


In this presentation, we will give a short overview of StackStorm, and focus on demonstrating two practical applications of event-driven automation with OpenStack.


The first use case is automatic troubleshooting and remediation of OpenStack infrastructure, helping avoid downtime; improving time-to-resolution; and reducing ops teams' pager fatigue.


The second use case provides the flexible and customizable provisioning of L2 networking with OpenStack. You will see how Neutron and StackStorm work together to dynamically provision L2 networks on demand for multi-tenant isolation inside OpenStack.

These two use cases only scratch the surface of StackStorm’s capabilities, and we hope StackStorm will unleash your imagination on how event driven automation fits your OpenStack operations, and your overall automation strategy.
