Is your IT organization being pushed to increase the tempo of your software
release cycles? Do you currently automate application builds and the creation
of staging environments? Do you always test thoroughly before pushing code
out to production? Does your hair catch on fire every time you put out a new
release? IT organizations large and small are turning to the set of
processes, technologies, and organizational practices called DevOps as a way
to deal with the need to release software more often and with less trouble by
changing the way the Development and Operations teams cooperate.
In his session at the 13th International Cloud Expo®, Uri Budnik, Director
of Business Development at RightScale, will discuss how Ceph, a fully open
source distributed object store, network block device, and file system
designed for reliability, scalability and performance, is transf... (more)
If you've had an OpenStack deployment for any length of time the chances are
very good that you are still using nova-network. With the planned deprecation
of nova-network right around the corner with Icehouse it's time to start
planning your transition from nova-network to Neutron.
Nova-network is a single monolithic process, that while complicated, handled
all your networking needs. Neutron is very different system from nova-network
with numerous components. It can be hard to understand how all the different
components fit together to replicate the functionality you've come to rely on
from nova-network.
In his session at the 13th International Cloud Expo®, Chet Burgess, Senior
Director, Engineering at Metacloud, will take a look at some of the core
functionality in nova-network and show you how it maps to Neutron. He will
start by describing a multi-project nova-ne... (more)
For cloud providers, offering predictable storage performance backed by firm
SLAs will become a competitive differentiator that drives greater customer
affinity and a better application experience. Many providers feel that a
Software Defined Storage (SDS) frameworks hold the key to delivering
guaranteed performance, yet this "software abstraction layer" is only half of
the solution. SDS frameworks are dependent on the virtualized resources
presented to it, and without the granular abstraction of physical storage
resources, these frameworks will remain limited.
In his session at the 13th International Cloud Expo®, Dave Wright, Founder &
CEO of SolidFire, will explore how to deliver guaranteed performance today,
through intelligent storage architectures and software defined control planes
of CloudStack, OpenStack, and VMware.

Ceph is an open source distributed object store, network block device, and
file system designed for reliability, performance, and scalability. With an
advanced placement algorithm, active storage nodes, and peer-to-peer gossip
protocols, Ceph scales from terabytes to exabytes with no single point of
failure. Through native integrations with OpenStack and Apache CloudStack,
Ceph provides a complete object and block storage solution for cloud data.
Instead of using scale-up storage appliances, Ceph is a software solution
that works on commodity hardware.
In his session at the 13th International Cloud Expo®, Greg Farnum, a
Software Developer at Inktank, will discuss the Ceph architecture, its
current status, and plans for future development. Attendees will also learn
how Ceph integrates with major cloud platforms to provide storage for public
and private cloud deploym... (more)

Choosing #OpenStack for Security and Sovereignty
Leysin American School is an exclusive, private boarding school located in
Leysin, Switzerland. Leysin selected an OpenStack-powered, private cloud as a
service to manage multiple applications and provide development environments
for students across the institution.
Seeking to meet rigid data sovereignty and data integrity requirements while
offering flexible, on-demand cloud resources to users, Leysin identified
OpenStack as the clear choice to round out the school's cloud strategy.
Additionally, the school sought a partner to provide OpenStack infrastructure
deployment and operations expertise. They ultimately selected Blue Box's
Private Cloud as a Service, powered by OpenStack, leveraging Blue Box's
Zurich, Switzerland data center.
In his session at DevOps Summit, Myles Steinhauser, a Software Development
Engineer... (more)
