Details
Free Software is about having control of your computing. Cloud computing is a platform that allows rapid deployment and scalability. Cloud computing is often done on someone else's cloud and so you lose control. But it needn't be that way, you can run your own cloud and use Free Software, so you are controlling your cloud.
OpenNebula is a free software cloud computing platform.
Puppet is a free software "platform for IT systems management". It enables a desired server state to be described in high level way and the server be brought into that desired state. More information at http://www.puppetlabs.com/puppet/.
"The talk will cover deploying and controlling an OpenNebula private cloud using Puppet. This will also give an insight into how you can use Puppet to configure other systems."
The event will include a Q&A session, discussion and then lively debate in the pub afterwards.
Speakers
"Ken Barber is an employee of Puppetlabs and has 12 years experience in Configuration Management as a Systems Engineer in the telecommunications and ISV industry. He has worked for such companies as Research in Motion, Alfresco Software and Singtel Optus Australia."
