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 two public OpenStack cloud providers (Fuga and City) and (hopefully) SFS' private DevStack cluster to provision infrastructure from the web GUI and the OpenStack CLI.

We will manage 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 still in heavy 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.
