Provisioning Cloud Infrastructure On OpenStack

RSVP on Meetup


Provisioning Cloud Intrastructure On OpenStack
a Gentle, Hands-on Introduction
with Chris Fedde & David L. Willson

We will use an existing OpenStack cluster to provision a stack manually in the GUI, by script in the CLI, and if time allows, by template.

We will create Projects and Users, provision Instances, assign Elastic IPs, and create *proper* Security Groups, from the GUI, CLI, and Heat template.

If time allows, we will attempt to build a DevStack node in VirtualBox. If you're interested in that part, make sure you have VirtualBox installed, up-to-date, and *working*! Or, use one of our loaner machines.

This class is in 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.

What we're about

The Software Freedom School exists to teach the world how to use and why to choose free software.

David L. Willson and Heather L. Willson started SFS in 2013 to help teach the world free software and to feed the whole student, mind (techie classes), body (delicious food), and spirit (libre software). We host Software Freedom First Saturday at the SFS HQ or Englewood Public Library: From 11am - 3pm you can learn about free software.

There are other events throughout the month and activities you can become involved in: Linux Camp and Study Groups to name a couple.

Our ideal members, via Meetup, are people, just like you, looking to learn more about freedom in the software community. It could be a new graduate, a person looking to change careers, someone who is super savvy but has been using the proprietary software for too long!

We are a community based company in the Denver area. We want to partner with hacker-spaces, maker-spaces, LUG's, small businesses, entrepreneurs, and small, free schools like us. Our goal is to teach the world how to use and why to choose free software and it would be wonderful if you joined us!

We look forward to meeting you and are excited for you to be part of the libre community!
