Be your own “Iron Chef” using Dell’s Crowbar!
Crowbar is a thriving open source software project, launched by Dell in 2010, with a strong community of users and contributors. An elemental part of the Dell OpenStack-Powered Cloud Solution, Crowbar enables users to deploy and manage OpenStack clouds quick and easy.
During this session, see a demonstration of how Crowbar and Chef can quickly build a local, multi-node OpenStack cloud in minutes. Using Chef on bare metal with a complete DevOps model, we will showcase how it provides users with maximum flexibility.
We will also discuss the status of the latest release of OpenStack (Essex), and what’s coming next in the project.
With Dell, OpenStack is fast, easy and ready now.

Cloud Foundry is an open source Cloud Platform as a Service "OpenPaaS" project created by VMware. It is multi-language/framework (Java, Ruby, Node), multi-service (MongoDB, Reddis, MySQL, Postgres, RabbitMQ) and multi-cloud (public, private, micro).
Cloud Foundry BOSH is an open source tool chain for release engineering, deployment and lifecycle management of large scale distributed services. This presentation will describe the architecture, topology, configuration, and use of BOSH, as well as the structure and conventions used in packaging and deployment.
BOSH is the system VMware is using to manage CloudFoundry.com, the Cloud Foundry based service operated by VMware, on several thousand VMs, with 40+ unique node types, 75+ unique software packages, 2x/week updates and 24x7x365 non-stop operation.
BOSH is infrastructure independent, and can be used to deploy Cloud Foundry on top of Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) products such as VMware vSphere, Amazon Web Services, or OpenStack.
To create an agile cloud, your sysadmin will face numerous challenges in term of assets management, auto-scaling, performance optimization, orchestration or monitoring. Scalr integrates with Chef to mix the power of resources provisioning with an automatic configuration tool. Michel's presentation will lay out common DevOps challenges and the features provided by Scalr and Chef to address these. A 10 minutes demo of Scalr plus Chef will also be presented.
