Network Virtualization in OpenStack

Come join us at the Heavy Seas Alehouse in Arlington as we learn about Network Virtualization in OpenStack! I figured that this might be a topic of interest, coming off the heels of the recent OpenStack summit in Austin. We'll go over what Network Virtualization is and why we need it, then dive into the OpenStack Network Virtualization reference implementation. If we have time left over, we'll look at additional implementations, such as networking-calico, OVN, as well as any other backends that people are interested in (e.g. Midonet, OpenContrail).

Let's use the same format from previous events, with drinks from 6:30-7pm, followed by the presentation with Q&A, and finally the usual open forum and questions, which tend to run the gamut of SDN topics.

The Heavy Seas Alehouse in Arlington is located at 1501 Wilson Blvd, Arlington, VA 22209. Although the address is Wilson Blvd., the entrance to the bar is actually on Oak Street. There's ample street parking, and you don't have to feed the parking meters after 6pm. There is also a parking garage around the corner if you prefer to be parked in a covered structure. For those commuting by Metro, the Rosslyn Metro station is just two blocks away from the Alehouse, and is reachable via the Orange and Blue lines.

Can't wait to see you all there!
