DevOps for OpenStack - Migrating a Major Bank to OpenStack, with Vassil Avramov

OpenStack Israel is honored to host yet another special guest from abroad to lead an excellent session on migrating real and painful workloads to OpenStack.

Session Abstract:

These days with the incredible diversity and quality of open source tooling it IS possible to leverage this technology to achieve production-grade workloads on OpenStack with full blown orchestration from the infrastructure through the application level. This presentation will demo a real life use case of a major bank that has combined diverse open source technology – from its CM with SaltStack, orchestration with Cloudify, Git & Nexus as repos, with Jenkins CI– to build enterprise-grade cloud deployments with full automation and management on top of OpenStack. These tools combined have enabled a complete CI/CD process, all the way through post-deployment. This presentation will demo how this model has been used to improve agility and time to market through the entire application lifecycle – all the way through event and monitoring driven auto-scaling and auto-healing based on TOSCA.
