Come discover the leading FOSS IaaS platform: OpenStack. We'll start by a quick presentation of the OpenStack project and RDO an OpenStack distro for Fedora and CentOS. Then, we'll deploy the latest OpenStack on Fedora using packstack in a VM and learning how to use your own cloud platform. In order to run the tutorial on your machine, we recommend a VM on your laptop that has 20GB+ of disk space, 2GB of ram and atleast 1 dedicated cpu core. If your laptop has the ability to run nested-virt, please enable that and use it. It will make a large difference to performance of the overall setup. We would also like to request everyone to setup these VMs ahead of time, in either KVM or Xen or any other virtualisation technology you might use. A basic CentOS-7 minimal install is sufficient to start from.
