OpenStack Finland User Group had it’s autumn meetup on November 2nd 2016. The topic for this event was OpenStack Operations and Operators.
I had also promised to talk about our operations at Cybercom, and specifically in our Managed Operations Center running our 24/7 operations, even though I have been mostly concentrating lately on other tasks at my daily work. Toni, who was supposed to keep the talk originally, was on parental leave, so I promised to help there.
Naturally the slides were made in a very lean way during my train ride to Helsinki… But they ended up being pretty good.
In addition to the main sponsor and organizer Cybercom, the event was sponsored by RedHat, NetApp, Fujitsu and SUSE.
The evening was held at night club Maxine locate in Kamppi center in Helsinki. The evening was hosted and moderated by Ilkka Tengvall, as usual.
The agenda was as follows:
- Welcome & Introducing OpenStack Operators Finland, Kalle Happonen CSC and Toni Ylenius, Cybercom
- Presentations
- Demo: Pouta Blueprints, Jyry Suvilehto, CSC. This is a block built on OpenStack that creates automatically needed datamining environments for scientists/trainers.
- Daily OpenStack Operations, Toni Ylenius and Rolf Koski, Cybercom
- Greetings from OpenStack Summit Barcelona 2016, Ilkka Tengvall, Red Hat
- Introducing Sponsors and their demos shortly.
The next meetup is going to be held at some time spring of 2017. The topics, agenda and venue are still open, but join the meetup group and stay tuned for any updates.
