May OpenStack Meetup


Details
We've got an exciting event planned for this May. Join us as we have two talented presenters on May 5!
We're pleased to welcome Todd Thomas from HP to present on the following:
Cloud – Transformation vs. Lift & Shift
Many enterprises do not realize the benefits of the cloud due to the strategy they take when first entering the cloud. The reason that most enterprises move to the cloud is to gain the benefits of resiliency, elasticity of demand and costs. Often enterprises initially use there cloud as an extension of their virtualized environment which does not give them the full benefits that they need to respond to business expectations.
We're also pleased to welcome Matt Riedemann from IBM to present on the following:
Tales from the Gate - How Debugging the Gate Helps Your Enterprise
What is the "OpenStack Gate?" Why is debugging it important? Join Matt as he explains the importance of debugging issues related to the gate, and how you can become a gate master!
Thanks to our sponsor HP, we'll have USB keys with Helion Community Edition to give to the first 50 people in the door, as well as some additional swag items. At the end of the night, we'll draw a winning name for the door prize which is an HP laptop!
Join us at Joule in Minneapolis for a great chance to network with other OpenStack curious folks, some Mexican food and drinks, and a great presentation!
Please note the location, this is the first time we're trying out Joule.
