Crowbar and OpenStack Audience: Intermediate Topic: Operations Abstract: One of the greatest challenges in implementing OpenStack is the complexity in deploying and maintaining all of its many components on what can be a wide range of different hardware platforms. To mitigate this problem, SUSE has developed Crowbar, an open source deployment tool that has led to SUSE winning the “Rule the Stack” deployment competition every time it has been run. This presentation will take you through the basics of Crowbar as well as a demonstration of some of its features. Speaker Bio: Steven Kowalik, SUSE Steven Kowalik is a Sydney-based open source developer with over two decades experience contributing to major projects, including over 15 years with Debian GNU/Linux, as well as significant involvement with upstream OpenStack. Steven is currently a senior developer at SUSE, working on primarily on SUSE OpenStack Cloud and related projects.
