Perry Myers from Red Hat and the RDO community will present a walkthrough of how to get an OpenStack environment up and running using tools and packages provided by the RDO community project.

The presentation will start with a high level overview of what OpenStack is, and what all of the major components are and how they inter-operate. The brief presentation will be followed by a live demonstration of installing OpenStack on commodity hardware and using it to perform some basic cloud operations (launching a virtual machine, and showing how tenant specific overlay networks work in Neutron).

Attendees of the session should be able to use their own hardware after the session and knowledge gained to install OpenStack (via http://rdoproject.org) themselves.
