OpenStack 6th Anniversary/ Using OpenStack Cinder to manage Docker storage

Come join us to celebrate the 6th anniversary of the OpenStack project. There will be food and drinks along with a retrospective on how far the project has come.

In addition, Solidfire will be sponsoring a presentation on "Using OpenStack Cinder to manage Docker storage"

Abstract:
The growth and change in Docker in the last year has been phenomenal. The Docker ecosystem got interesting with the 1.9 release and the addition of network and storage APIs. The new APIs present a common methodology to manage persistent storage for Docker applications. This presents a growth in new use cases and capabilities. In this presentation we’ll share how SolidFire has done some work with Convoy and Flocker, and recently, finished up our first version of a native Docker storage plug-in. We’ll also take users through the options around Docker storage and the work to make OpenStack Cinder a storage manager for Docker.
