Catching up with Cloud Online Meetups
There are three upcoming Cloud Online Meetups you may be interested in:
* April 24: High Availability and Scalability in the Cloud w/ ActiveState and Piston Cloud. (9am PST)
* May 7: How StackStorm builds and Operates StackStorm Software Itself (9am PST)
* May 14: Microservices 101 w/ ActiveState (9am PST)
Online Meetup: High Availability and Scalability in the Cloud
We are hosting our Cloud Online Meetup at 9.00 - 10.00 am Pacific! In order to join our session, please sign up here!
High availability and scalability are critical to managing modern enterprise cloud workloads. However, effectively implementing and harvesting the benefits of both takes considerable investment in code, configuration, training, and people.
Modern technologies and tooling are rapidly evolving and have made this process much more easily attainable. Instead of months, deploying a reliable, scalable, available application on a reliable infrastructure can be accomplished in minutes.
In this webinar, John Wetherill of ActiveState and Shawn Madden of Piston Cloud discuss the many challenges, advantages, and benefits using the best of modern cloud technologies - ActiveState’s Stackato Private PaaS, and Piston CloudOS. Some of what they will cover includes:
- The many faces of availability - Application Autoscaling vs. Infrastructure Autoscaling - Cloud and application orchestration through REST - Interaction between PaaS and IaaS - And more…

Cloud Online Meetup: Instant Cloud w/ Stackato Cloud Foundry & Mirantis OpenStack
We are hosting our Cloud Online Meetup on Tuesday, March 24 at 9.00 - 10.00 am Pacific! In order to join our session, please sign up here!
Abstract:
Cloud Foundry PaaS and OpenStack IaaS are fast becoming the de facto standards in cloud computing. Cloud Foundry has revolutionized the application development paradigm while OpenStack has transformed infrastructure management and operations. Both platforms are powerful, complex, and cutting edge – helping to deliver high quality software projects faster, better, and more efficiently. But how do you get these two systems working together quickly and seamlessly? Setting up a production Cloud Foundry PaaS is no small feat and becoming an expert in OpenStack can take a lot of time, money, and effort. In this session, John Wetherill, ActiveState Developer Evangelist, and Craig Peters, Mirantis Product Manager, provide a live demonstration of quickly you can set up your own multi-node scalable PaaS on an OpenStack infrastructure, using the powerful OpenStack Application Catalog (Murano). Some of what they will cover is:
• Introduction to OpenStack, Cloud Foundry, Mirantis Murano, and ActiveState Stackato
• Provision a multi-node Stackato cluster on OpenStack
• Deploying applications to Stackato
• Demo autoscaling the whole stack, VMs, and containers
And more… Join us and learn to get started with your own cloud infrastructure in less than an hour!

Online Meetup: How OpenStack & Development Platform is primed for the enterprise
Abstract:
How the OpenStack & Development Platform ecosystem is primed for the enterprise with HP. Join us at 9.00 - 10.00 am Pacific!
A few years ago, a limited number of enterprises used open source technology in their infrastructure. Today, it’s difficult to find an IT operation that does not leverage open source technology. Yet, some cloud providers would have you believe that OpenStack technology—“the” open source cloud platform—is not yet enterprise-ready.
In reality, OpenStack computing is the fastest growing open source project worldwide, and it is being deployed by thousands of companies for business-critical workloads. Join us for this online meetup by Anand Bhadouria, Chief Cloud Technologist, HP Cloud to lean how you can use OpenStack technology for public, private, and hybrid cloud delivery, while still maintaining the security, control, and management required to operate at scale. Anand will also provide real-world examples of how companies have implemented OpenStack technology, the benefits experienced, and how HP is consistently adding enterprise-grade innovations to OpenStack cloud computing.
Speaker:
Anand Bhadouria is a strategic, Cloud Technology leader with over 22 years of global experience in application & IT infrastructure, Technology Strategy, Management Consulting, Enterprise Architecture, Pre-Sales and Project Management. Currently Anand is working with HP as Cloud Chief Technologist and helps HP customers on building Private and Public Cloud.
Prior to joining HP, Anand was working as Sr. Technology Strategist/ Enterprise Architect at Rackspace, helping F1000 customers in the Eastern region of the US. Anand was writing regular blogs and whitepapers on Big Data, Cloud Strategy and Cloud Security on Rackspace’s website. Anand has spent multiple years with EMC Consulting, Infosys and Nortel Networks.
Anand has received his Master of Science degree in Management and Engineering from the MIT Sloan School of Management and MIT College of Engineering.

Online Meetup: Building a cloud ready linux image locally using KVM
In this online meetup we will cover building your own images locally using KVM. This will work on RHEL, CentOS, Fedora, and derivatives. First we will cover doing this manually using virt-manager in the GUI and then the one line command to build from the command line using virt-install. This assumes at least an RHCE level of understanding.

Recorded Online Meetup: An Introduction to Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) on OpenStack
by John Wetherill
[the following blog post was oroginally pubished on the ActiveState website]
Prior to joining ActiveState as a Technology Evangelist I was a developer at variety of companies. During my development career I was constantly fighting the same battle: getting mired in the weeds of software development. I wanted to build cool software and applications, and I was able to do that, but at the great cost of dealing with infrastructure headaches. I found that most of my time was being spent on the operations side, when all I really wanted to do was build software and get that out the door. Over two and a half years ago I discovered Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS). I saw Stackato and downloaded the micro cloud on my computer. I booted it up and tried deploying an application to it. The moment I was able to do that, I was shocked at how simple it was. I was seeing all of my years in development and realized the amount of time I could have saved by having a tool such as Stackato during that time.
Stackato provides an abstraction between the infrastructure layer and the application layer. It takes away the pain of having to deal with infrastructure issues. Most items that typical enterprise applications need to run are provided by Stackato, and the advantage is that developers don't have to configure, install or even understand the underlying process. When working as a developer, I remember how long it used to take to get everything in place just so we could deploy our app with a MongoDB database. With Stackato it's all there. It becomes trivial to deploy an app because so much is handled automatically. (One important note is that Stackato is a private PaaS, With a public PaaS, like Heroku, the PaaS itself is hosted on someone's server. With Stackato, it's a software application that you can install on your own laptop, private cloud/OpenStack instance or on your own public cloud).
Below is a recording of the session I had recently done at an OpenStack Online meetup. I approached this presentation based on my career as a developer and tried to show how PaaS helps from that perspective. In addition to giving an introduction to PaaS, I also discussed the relationship between PaaS and the IaaS layer, the architecture as well as how it provisions services, messaging systems, caching services and filesystems.
I'm doing a few more OpenStack Online Meetups, so I hope you can join me at the next session.
Enjoy the video!
