Build a Cloud Day will be dedicated to teaching users how to build and manage a cloud computing environment using free and open source software. The program is designed to expose attendees to the concepts and best practices around deploying cloud computing infrastructure.
Attendees should expect to learn how to deploy a cloud computing environment using CloudStack and other cloud infrastructure tools that automate server and network configuration for building highly available cloud computing environments.
Agenda:
10:15 Welcome: Tim Mackey, Sr Manager Product Marketing, Cloud Platforms Group, Citrix
Will kick off the event with a review of the program and discussion on cloud computing.
10:20 – 10:50 - Xen Cloud Platform: Tim Mackey, Sr Manager Product Marketing, Cloud Platforms Group, Citrix
The Xen Cloud Platform is an open-source, enterprise-ready server virtualization platform. It is based on the Xen hypervisor, and represents the common code base for Citrix's XenServer product line. This talk will give an introduction to XCP, and how it relates to both the Xen hypervisor and to Citrix's XenServer. We will cover XCP's XenAPI and how it can be used by two of the most popular cloud orchestration frameworks, CloudStack and OpenStack. Finally, we'll discuss the XCP "roadmap," and our plans for the future of XCP
10:50 - 11:20 - Delivering IaaS with CloudStack: Tim Mackey, Sr Manager Product Marketing, Cloud Platforms Group, Citrix
Apache CloudStack is arguably one of the most mature, frequently deployed IaaS platforms - having been used in multi-national public clouds, and private clouds scaling to tens of thousands of physical compute nodes, wel look at considerations for deploying CloudStack and how to gain the most efficiency from your deployment.
11:20 - 12:30 – Application Lifecycle Management on Cloudstack with Scalr: Sebastian Stadil, Founder of Scalr
12:30 - 1:30 - Lunch Break
