OpenStack and OpenDaylight: an integrated IaaS for SDN/NFV

Hi Stackers!

We have a great meetup talk coming up on Thursday, March 16th about OpenDaylight and OpenStack given by seasoned OpenStack speaker.

Abstract: OpenStack is a free and open-source software platform for cloud computing, mostly deployed as an infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS). OpenDaylight is an open source project under the Linux Foundation with the goal of furthering the adoption and innovation of SDN through the creation of a common industry supported platform.

In this session, I will talk about how OpenStack and OpenDaylight can be combined together to solve real world business cases and networking needs. We will cover:

• What is OpenDaylight
• Use cases for OpenDaylight with OpenStack
• The OpenDaylight NetVirt project
• How OpenDaylight interacts with OpenStack
• The future of OpenDaylight, and how we see it help solving challenges in the networking industry such as NFV, container networking and physical network fabric management -- the open source way.
