A Gentle, Hands-on Introduction to OpenStack

We will attempt to build an OpenStack DevStack in VirtualBox. If that
doesn’t work, we’ll import one from an image.

We will create a project and users, a network and instances, and
discuss how OpenStack compares to Amazon Web Services.

If time allows, we’ll play with command-line management and HEAT.

David is an outstanding instructor and communicator of complex
topics. He has been an IT professional for over two decades,
teaching Linux since 2000, and operating the Software Freedom School
(http://www.sofree.us/) for the past five years.

Bring a machine with VirtualBox installed and up-to-date and/or a USB
stick so you can take your DevStack image home. Your machine needs
at least 12GB RAM & 2 cores. Your USB stick needs at least 16GB.
Loaner machines and USB sticks will be available.

This class is in development; your suggestions and feedback are
wanted! If there’s a particular feature of OpenStack that you would
like to see highlighted, please say so early, so we can try to plan
it in.
