OpenStack: Free Software Clouds with David L. Willson

OpenStack clouds are much freer and maybe fluffier. Let's use them, instead of un-free clouds.

We will use an existing OpenStack cluster to provision a stack manually, and if time allows, by template, too.

We will manage Projects, Users, Instances, Elastic IP, and Security Groups, from the GUI, CLI, and if time allows, from a HEAT OpenStack Template.

Bring a machine with a web browser and a secure shell client.

David has been using and assisting others with Free Software like Linux for more than 20 years, and operating the Software Freedom School
(http://www.sofree.us/) since 2013.

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.
