Open Stack

OpenStack Northwest User Group Meetup in Portland

Wednesday Feb 5, 2014 @ 6:00PM PDT

Jama Software (South) 334 NW 11th Ave, Portland, OR

Don't miss this exciting OSNW event...

Here in Portland, you can now get the best of both Clouds! The OpenStack NW
team worked with AWS meetup organizers to provide the best value to the
Portland Cloud community; we agreed to line both events in close proximity
allowing you to head straight to Jama Software South facility at 6:00pm,
immediately after attending AWS meetup which starts at 4:00pm.

This would make for a very exciting and super rich Wednesday night, why?
Because we have Cameron Seader flying over to share the latest in SUSE Cloud
then.

We're bringing the latest OpenStack projects directly from Yahoo's building
C in the Silicon Valley as we join the SFBay OpenStack meetup over live
two-way video link.

And for some fun time, our sponsor ProFocus is giving away a Kindle for the
first correct answer of a quiz question from one of the presentations.

On the agenda:

6:00 - 6:15 Introduction, pizza and beer (RSVP - Please!)

6:15 - 7:00 SUSE Cloud-

OpenStack Heat provides a framework for predefining a structured service,
and allows you to instantiate that service in an automated manner. Walk
through the process of creating a Heat template for a multi-tiered web
application that will include multiple image templates, custom networking,
and volume storage.

7:00 - 8:30 SFBay Simulcast - Projects Murano and Mistral

One of the fastest growing parts of OpenStack for the last release cycle is
orchestration and platform-level capabilities. Different aspects of
orchestration are represented by a number of the initiatives. During this
session Mirantis engineers will talk about two projects from orchestration
area which were initiated by Mirantis - Murano and Mistral.

Murano is a project which brings Application Catalog features to OpenStack
cloud. Application Catalog provides an integration layer for 3rd party
applications to be deployed via self-service UI for OpenStack cloud. The
discussion, driven by Alex Tivelkov - a Murano technical lead, will cover
Application Catalog use cases and their value for cloud users. Some of the
use cases will be illustrated during the live demo followed by roadmap
overview and Q&A.

As the second part of this meetup Mistral project will be presented. Mistral
is a new initiative for workflow as a service implementation announced at
the latest OpenStack summit in HK. Workflow as a service provides an ability
to execute tasks in a distributed manner defined by simple DSL instead of
writing a python code. Mistral provides features like event triggered tasks,
scheduled tasks as a part of DSL. Renat Akhmerov - a Mistral technical lead
will cover Mistral use cases, architecture overview and live demo for
Mistral PoC followed by roadmap discussion and Q&A.

At the end of the meetup there will be a general Q&A session about
integration between new and existing OpenStack services including Heat,
Trove, Murano, Savanna and Mistral.

Special thanks to our sponsors SUSE Linux, Jama Software and ProFocus.

Hope to see you there.
