June Boston OpenStack User Group Meetup

Tuesday, July 24, 2012, from 6:30 – 9:30PM, Sampson and Paul rooms, Microsoft NERD Center, 1 Memorial Drive, 10th Floor, Cambridge, MA

Co-Sponsored by Dell and Cloud Technology Partners

AGENDA:

We have two hot topics:

OPENSTACK KEYSTONE DEEP-DIVE

The default identity management system for OpenStack is the OpenStack Identity Service, code-named Keystone. Find out what Keystone does in Essex and what is coming to Keystone in Folsom.

This talk will be a technical deep dive into the workings for Keystone in the Essex release. It will cover the Object and domain model, the authorization mechanisms, and the differences between the SQL, LDAP and other back-ends. In addition, it will cover some of the blueprints that will be implemented in the Folsom release. Specifically covered will be the use of PKI to authenticate tokens, and the next version of the Keystone API.

SPEAKER:

Adam Young is a Senior Software Engineer at Red Hat. He is a core developer on the Keystone project. Prior to working on Openstack, he worked on FreeIPA, the basis for the Identity Management system in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.2. Past work has ranged from High Availability at VMware, Beowulf Clusters at Penguin Computing, eCommerce and Enterprise Web Application development.

NUTS AND BOLTS OF AN OPENSTACK DEPLOYMENT

DevOps, Crowbar and Openstack

Complex distributed systems like OpenStack deployed from bare metal and up are fun – when they work. Getting them to work is even more fun. We’ll be discussing, interactively, the background and some futures of deploying and maintaining Openstack clusters using Crowbar as an example of the set of concerns that must be addressed.

SPEAKER:

Andi Abes has been a software professional since his early days in the IDF Signals core in 1992. His experience includes working on Core internet routers at BBN (leading to a spin off startup), Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) and SOA at Sonic-Software and multi-tenant SaaS based management systems at Dell (collecting a couple of patents along the way). Most recently, Andi is working on Openstack and Cloud based systems at Dell.
