The OpenStack L.A. meetup for September is on and here are the details…I’m very excited to welcome a new presenter, Ashish Shah, and a new sponsor, Avi Networks, to our group!

Presentation Abstract:

Elastic L4-L7 Services for OpenStack

This session is about elastic, multi-tenant, L4-L7 network services in OpenStack. We will discuss how L4-L7 services are implemented in OpenStack today and how these are evolving in Kilo and Liberty. We will present a new, distributed microservices architecture as well as demo load balancing (LBaaS), high-performance SSL, and real-time application monitoring services in OpenStack. We will also share learnings from production deployments of OpenStack in large-scale private and public clouds.
