Build an OpenStack Cloud! Bring your Laptop

Please join us for a practical hands on OpenStack workshop in which participants will build an OpenStack cloud one of several ways. There will be 17 lab machines available, and if more individuals attend that machines we will double up some, or have groups of people working together to build a cloud.

We will be deploying Ubuntu OpenStack Juno on Ubuntu 14.04. Each person(group if more than 17) will be be able to deploy an OpenStack cloud, and perform a few high level functions within that cloud.

This workshop is presents a unique opportunity for the Richmond community to come together and not only learn a bit about OpenStack, but deploy it yourself!

If you plan to participate, please bring along a laptop that has an HTML 5 browser on it.

This workshop has been sponsored by Canonical (the company behind Ubuntu), and Alliance Technology Group. Canonical is generously allowing us to leverage the lab used for the Ubuntu OpenStack Fundamentals training course, and Alliance will be sponsoring the food and beverages for the evening. There will be a limit of 38 individuals for this exciting meetup. If you do not have a lot of Linux skills, come anyways and we will try to pair you up with someone that does.

Agenda:

6:30-6:45: Socializing

6:45-7:15: Ubuntu OpenStack Overview

7:15-8:30: Deploying OpenStack with MAAS, Juju and Ubuntu

8:30-9:00: Tour of your new OpenStack cloud

I look forward to seeing you there!
