Details

Hey Stackers!

We have two great talks coming your way - one from Mirantis and the other from GigaSpaces - on the topics of application management and orchestration in OpenStack.

Talk #1: Application Management in OpenStack

Managing applications in the cloud poses new challenges, so new approaches are required. Puppet, Chef, Ansible and their like provide great utility, but leave big questions unanswered such as how to manage applications on different clouds. In this talk we'll explore how the OpenStack project Murano provides a catalog and application abstraction that fills a big part of this gap. As a catalog Murano provides app developers and cloud operators with service and application discovery and publishing. As a lightweight integration layer Murano provides the ability to separate application logic from cloud specific deployment orchestration. And together these two characteristics make Murano a compelling choice for cloud operators to assure usability and manageability of applications in their clouds.

Speaker: Craig Peters, Director of Product Management at Mirantis

Talk #2: Orchestrating Cloud Applications with TOSCA

TOSCA is a standard specification for Orchestration languages by OASIS. As a domain specific language which isdesigned specifically for the orchestration domain, TOSCA supports specific language properties such as interfaces, inheritance, custom types etc. TOSCA was designed to be infrastructure natural and therefore plays an important role in enabling portability between OpenStack and other clouds. In this session we will provide an overview of main concepts behind TOSCA and compare them with that of other orchestration tools such as OpenStack Heat, Kubernetes, Swarm. We will use Cloudify, an open source implementation of TOSCA, to demonstrate the process of modeling, deployment and post deployment using TOSCA.

Speaker: Arthur Berezin, Director of Product for Cloudify at GigaSpaces
