Building a Cloud - Working/Planning Session

For those of you looking for a challenge... We've got a stack of hardware and networking gear and will be building out an infrastructure cloud. This will likely take a few sessions covering everything from hardware planning, physical networking and then into the cloud software (OpenStack) installation and configuration.

Here is an Etherpad for us to keep notes along the way:

Week One - Review the hardware and networking gear available to see what might be missing. Discuss what OpenStack distributions (Mirantis, Ubuntu, Cannonical, etc) and what software capabilities to enable (Nova, Neutron, Cinder, Ceph, etc).

This will be hands on! Expect to spend time plugging things together and installing software.
