Agenda:

6:30 - 7:00: Networking and food/bev
7:00 - 8:30: Presentation

Tonight's presentations will cover two exciting, diverse topics.

Topic #1: Where do Glance images come from anyway?

First Greg Haynes and Clint Byrum will talk about Diskimage-builder. Diskimage-builder is a tool for automatically building customized operating-system images for use in clouds and other environments. It includes support for building images based on many major distributions and can produce cloud-images in all common formats (qcow2, vhd, raw, etc), bare metal file-system images and ram-disk images. These images are composed from the many included elements; diskimage-builder acts as a framework to easily add your own elements for even further customization. ​In this talk we'll cover what diskimage-builder is, and how we use it in OpenStack.

Topic #2: CI/CD pipelines with OpenStack

Next Spencer Krum and Chris Aedo will present: Zero to DevOps with Zuul (aka "pirate training for OpenStack"). Spencer and Chris will discuss what Zuul does for the OpenStack /deployer/ going beyond simply testing OpenStack in the upstream gate. They will also talk a lot about Ansible and config management best practices, as well as some git tricks you can use no matter where you fit in the OpenStack Ecosystem.

To get a head start, read up on Diskimage-builder and Zuul. Or check out this short YouTube video of OpenStack expert Monty Taylor speaking with SF Bay OpenStack user group manager Lisa-Marie Namphy talking about OpenStack Zuul and Ansible at the OpenStack Summit in Barcelona.
