Containers on OpenStack and using Ansible to manage OpenStack - Melbourne

Melbourne Meetup.

Two short presentations.

1. Containers, containers, containers.

Everyone loves containers. HPE Helion and Cloud Foundry provide more than just your standard container management platform. CF provides full application management, service management and is driven by leveraging the power of containers. For developers, containers can be created and managed automatically, or you can bring your own. Join us to learn how the Helion Development Platform uses containers and sandboxing (for native Windows support) to power the next wave of enterprise application innovation.

2. Using Ansible to deploy OpenStack - The power of "Infrastructure as Code"

Ansible is the only configuration management tool written in Python which makes it ideal to integrate with OpenStack private and public clouds.

In this session we will see how new instances can be provisioned on both private and public clouds and get web applications deployed within minutes by making use of a single playbook.

We will review as well, how Ansible playbooks can be used to provision new baremetal nova compute nodes into an existing cloud infrastructure (leveraging the power of cobbler as well).
