Hello everybody, I'm the author of Ferry, a new open-source project that automates launching big data stacks in the cloud. For those familiar with Sahara, it's similar in scope but has additional support for Spark, Cassandra, and GlusterFS/OpenMPI (and of course Hadoop). I don't want to spam folks too much, but I thought the community might find some use in our recent OpenStack backend. http://blog.opencore.io/announcements/2014/08/01/openstack/ If anybody is interested in installing and testing out the software, feel free to shoot me an email. Cheers, --James Web: http://ferry.opencore.io Email: jlh at opencore.io Twitter: @open_core_io
