CloudStack Meetup - Replacing realhostip.com with Your Custom Domain!

Agenda:

6:00pm - 6:30pm: Networking, pizza & beer!

6:30pm - 7:30pm: Replacing realhostip.com with your custom domain with Nitin Mehta, Apache CloudStack Committer

This talk is about replacing realhostip.com with your custom domain. Citrix is shutting down realhostip.com soon and this talk would help understand the prerequisites, procedure and troubleshooting steps for customizing your cloud with your own domain. Currently Secondary Storage virtual machine (SSVM) and Console Proxy virtual machine (CPVM) use realhostip.com as default SSL domain for functionalities such as viewing virtual machine console, copying templates across zones, download template/iso/volume and so these functionalities would be impacted with the shutdown of realhostip.com. A demo will be included.

Who should attend

Folks from development side enthusiastic in understanding Cloudstack architecture or Cloudstack system admins impacted by realhostip shutdown. Anyone is welcome!

7:30pm - 8:30pm: Don't Break the Glass! In Case of Emergency by John Kinsella, Apache CloudStack Project Management Committee Member & Founder of Stratosec

In the last few moments you’ve realized a horrible mistake has occurred within your cloud - what do you do? This talk will cover real-life experiences (minus the yowling and swearing) on how to save as much as possible from complete destruction. This talk will be focusing on undocumented methods to recover as much as possible - from somebody who has brought VMs back from “Expunge,” but has also had to make the call to the customer to inform that their data was lost.

The intention of this talk is something for you to become familiar with and have on-hand when the stuff hits the fan.
