OpenStack and Cloud Foundry: A tale of two projects

Agenda

6:30pm - 7pm: Pre-meeting conversation, networking, light refreshments
7pm - 8:30pm: Presentation, Q&A

Abstract

With humorous anecdotes from the pre-history of both projects, Andrew Clay Shafer (https://twitter.com/littleidea) will talk about today and tomorrow’s best practices for full-stack private cloud.

We'll talk hopes, dreams, and lessons learned. We'll talk about dev and we'll talk about ops, and what it all means in a cloud platform world. We'll start from the bottom of the stack and work up to the top. We'll go from history, to the state of the art with an eye on the future. You will laugh, you will cry, you will learn about stateful services in a 12 factor world. From bare metal to Linux Containers, and beyond... bring you thinking cap and a fresh change of clothes expecting a lively presentation followed by an even livelier discussion.
