Third OpenStack UG Meetup in Bulgaria

Join us for the third meetup of the OpenStack user group in Bulgaria, June 17 at Telerik Academy. This half-day conference for developers, users and administrators of OpenStack Cloud Software is the perfect place to learn about the latest technology trends and connect with other community members from both Bulgaria and beyond.

Whether you have extensive experience with OpenStack or are just getting started with the open source cloud computing platform, the meetup has sessions tailored to your needs. Our attendee-driven agenda will give you an overview of OpenStack technology, valuable insight into best-practice examples and a deep dive into what's next with the OpenStack platform. During the event you will have access to seasoned practitioners from leading technology companies and innovative startups who will share their expertise.

Everyone interested in OpenStack is welcome to join the meetup. Access is free but registration is required (http://thirdopenstackugmeetupbg.eventbrite.com).

In addition to the main agenda, this time we are also organizing a hands-on workshop that will walk you through the core OpenStack services and concepts, touching on the most important components of the environment. You will get practical knowledge on creating some general network configurations and will dive into how to bootstrap your images to get them from base operating systems to fully functional customized VMs aligned with your own requirements.

Please note that additional registration for the workshop (http://thirdopenstackugmeetupbgworkshop.eventbrite.com) is required.
