SPEAKERS & AGENDA

Giles Sirett – Introductions & CloudStack News

Mike Rowell – Ticketmaster’s Road to Cloudstack. Where we were, where we are and where we’re going.

Bobby Stoyanov – A look at some new CloudStack features around VM deployment and configuration. These new features include: more sophisticated options for specifying pod and cluster while deploying a VM; running and retrieving diagnostics on the VR; sending additional configuration to VMs; and adding options to cleanup additional data disks when destroying a VM.

Grégoire Lamodière – Using message broker to extend cloud features. Many use cases involve communication between CloudStack admin (provider) and instances (end user) regarding configuration, build and management. DIMSI team present a communication framework that enables managing user infrastructure on Windows and Linux systems from a centralized panel.

Wido den Hollander – Flexible networking is a requirement for scaling a cloud environment. Regular L2 VLANs have their limitations when it comes to scalability, and VXLAN overcomes these limitations making it easier to scale out your CloudStack deployment. As of CloudStack 4.12, VXLAN can use IPv6, and Wido will talk about Advanced networking + IPv6 + VXLAN which he is putting into production right now with the 4.12 release.

Boyan Ivanov – Why latency is the #1 metric of your Cloud. No two clouds are the same. Yet the leading clouds all have one thing in common: they deliver on metrics, which matter to the customer. In this session we’ll dissect leading clouds, to show why low latency is the thing that makes a cloud stand out.
