Ganeti is a cluster virtualization system developed mostly at Google but used by many organizations worldwide. Businesses and groups can leverage the power of Ganeti to easily and effectively manage fleets of physical hosts and use them to schedule virtual machine guests.

Reasons for choosing Ganeti include that it is very lightweight, it is simple to install and manage, and it doesn't demand special storage hardware.

Who should attend: 

System engineers interested in using virtualization and cloud technologies efficiently to consolidate systems and decouple physical hardware resources from virtual systems. Ideal participants are proficient with Linux/UNIX system administration and may already be using some virtualization technologies, but want to achieve a higher level of scalability for their systems by employing a cluster management technology such as Ganeti, without the need to invest money in specialized hardware resources such as SANs.

Take back to work: 

The knowledge needed to create and maintain your own Ganeti cluster, to provide an IaaS cloud or virtualized services.

Topics include: 
  • Setting up and managing a Ganeti cluster
  • Ganeti internals: how to make changes
  • Monitoring your cluster and dealing with failure
  • Ganetia as a back end
  • Typical and atypical use cases
