Scaling OpenStack (100 nodes) using lab on AWS

We will discuss how to scale OpenStack deployments using a lab on AWS.

Come and listen to Tony Vattathil from RedHat describe his experience with scaling Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform to 100 compute nodes behind a single controller and dedicated neutron networking node on AWS using Ravello -www.ravellosystems.com (http://www.ravellosystems.com/)

This installation was deployed on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 (64bit) using the packstack installer. The setup started with one compute, controller and neutron node and was scaled in an automated fashion on AWS to 100 compute nodes, until we hit some interesting issues with some services on controller node. This exercise also describes the scenario of how you can setup Openstack labs(which require KVM) on AWS and Google Cloud with Ravello's nested hypervisor platform with hardware acceleration.
