IaaS provides infrastructure as a service, allowing your customers to spin up VMs, services, and even machine images on demand. In this class, you will learn about building IaaS clouds using Apache CloudStack. We'll cover everything from initial configuration to scaling and maintaining availability. Apache CloudStack works with KVM, vSphere, and XenServer/XCP for virtualization, and also supports Amazon Web Services.
Who should attend:
Intermediate to advanced sysadmins or enterprise architects wanting to deploy a production Infrastructure as a Service cloud.
Prerequisites: Experience with virtualization platforms and deep understanding of layer two and three (L2/L3) networking is preferred but not required.
Take back to work:
What you need to deploy an IaaS cloud based on Apache CloudStack in an enterprise environment.
Topics include:
Deploying Apache CloudStack
Next-generation network topologies, including SDN
Scaling storage without becoming indentured to SAN vendors
Making CloudStack scale to tens of thousands of physical nodes
Maintaining availability in a "failure-is-assured" environment
