OpenStack Summit October 2015 Tokyo

The work of running OpenStack has been getting easier; unfortunately, it's still just as hard to operate the underlying physical data center.  In this presentation, we're going to talk about how to use open source tools build a consistent and repeatable underlay for your OpenStack infrastructure using OpenCrowbar and OpenContrails.

Most importantly, we'll talk about how to TEAR IT ALL DOWN AND START OVER.

The RackN and Juniper teams have been collaborating to create an automated ready state environment that is hardware,  distribution and devops tooling agnostic with both physical and network topologies automatically configured for OpenStack environments using open source technologies.

In this session, we'll start with some first principles on physical Ops to ensure OpenStack success then we'll show how to duplicate this experience with your own infrastructure.
