Cloud is a huge buzzword nowadays, and for good reason, the paradigm lends itself very well to improved hardware utilization, leads to a development environment that closely mirrors your production environment and provides a great platform for resource sharing between teams.

This talk will go over many of the interesting technologies and techniques used in the development of OpenStack, an all-Python open source project that provides the infrastructure for running your own private cloud, and will leave you feeling excited about the future of how we will all use computers.

An Open success for the cloud: OpenStack

Presented by Andy Smith

OpenStack is a collection of open source technologies written entirely in Python, delivering a massively scalable cloud operating system. OpenStack is currently developing two interrelated projects: OpenStack Compute and OpenStack Object Storage. OpenStack Compute is software to provision and manage large groups of virtual private servers, and OpenStack Object Storage is software for creating redundant, scalable object storage using clusters of commodity servers to store terabytes or even petabytes of data.

This talk will go into details about the success of OpenStack with Python, limitations and how overall, Python was the right technology choice.
