Cloud architects deploying OpenStack have multiple options for virtualizing the network layer. At this meetup, folks who’ve built big clouds and designed the networking fabrics for them will talk about those choices, including those that are native to OpenStack as well as other open source options. They’ll also dig into what’s new in Havana and what’s on tap for Icehouse next spring from a networking standpoint. Bring your questions about network virtualization and SDN in OpenStack, and we’ll talk about Neutron and more. Moderator Randy Bias of Cloudscaling will be joined by Rudra Rugge of Juniper Networks, Aaron Rosen of VMware / Nicira, Edgar Magana of PLUMgrid, and Ryu Ishimoto of Midokura. Replay of the live broadcast can be found (soon) at http://youtube.com/siliconangle
