OpenStack Summit October 2015 Tokyo

There have been lots of discussions in the cloud world about traditional 3-tier application workloads that are highly managed (i.e. Pets) and their modern web-counterpart workloads that are scalable, resilient, and fault tolerant (i.e. Cattle). But how does one migrate business critical applications from a "simple" virtualized world into a hybrid-cloud based on OpenStack?

This talk walks through moving a running web application from one such virtualized 3-tier world into an OpenStack-based cloud world and the sorts of changes that need to be considered for re-architecting the app and re-deploying it into the cloud. The steps are meant to provoke conversations and should not be considered a recipe book.
