Introduction to Provisioning

Half Day Afternoon
(1:30 pm-5:00 pm)

Nautilus 1

S9
New!
Geoff Halprin, The SysAdmin Group
Description: 

As sysadmins, provisioning is one of the most obvious, basic, and important things we do. This simple topic covers areas as diverse as establishing the right standards, automated delivery (where applicable), ensuring software license compliance, and, oh, actually building the machine (physical or virtual).

For such an obvious part of our duties, it is surprising just how much thought goes into effective provisioning. This tutorial will cover a wide gamut of issues, many of which must be performed long before the machine is ever built.

 

Who should attend: 

Sysadmins, IT/IS managers, and any other folks responsible for new systems (real or virtual), installations, and integrations; sysadmins looking towards the cloud, infrastructure automation, and more maintainable systems.

 

Take back to work: 

A deep understanding of the provisioning process and its context in the wider infrastructure lifecycle; processes and best practices for efficient and timely roll-out and integration of systems.

Topics include: 
  • The infrastructure lifecycle 
  • The three parts to provisioning: planning, pre-provisioning, and provisioning 
  • Automation 
  • The MUST haves (Mandatory Ubiquitous Service Transport) 
  • Management traffic: in-band, out-of-band, and image distribution 
  • The build (physical and virtual) 
  • Software licensing and other topics you probably didn’t think of
