Backing up Openstack

Speaker: Wolfgang Richter (CMU, CS, PhD Student)

I'll be talking about my experiences backing up VMs within an OpenStack environment, and thoughts on how to make it even better. Key technologies discussed will be Ceph (although only minimally), deduplication, compression, and scripting backups with OpenStack. Most of this experience comes from small business and research deployments, but the key takeaways apply broadly.

Please bring your favorite tidbit of backup advice or backup story (both the good kind and the disastrous kind!).
