Subject: [gpfsug-discuss] SSUG Meet the Devs - Cloud Workshop


Hi everyone,

Back by popular demand! We are holding a UK 'Meet the Developers' event to focus on \
Cloud topics. We are very lucky to have Dean Hildebrand, Master Inventor, Cloud \
Storage Software from IBM over in the UK to lead this session.

IS IT FOR ME?
Slightly different to the past meet the devs format, this is a cloud workshop aimed \
at looking how Spectrum Scale fits in the world of cloud. Rather than being a series \
of presentations and discussions led by IBM, this workshop aims to look at how \
Spectrum Scale can be used in cloud environments. This will include using Spectrum \
Scale as an infrastructure tool to power private cloud deployments. We will also look \
at the challenges of accessing data from cloud deployments and discuss ways in which \
this might be accomplished.

If you are currently deploying OpenStack on Spectrum Scale, or plan to in the near \
future, then this workshop is for you. Also if you currently have Spectrum Scale and \
are wondering how you might get that data into cloud-enabled workloads or are \
currently doing so, then again you should attend. To ensure that the workshop is \
focused, numbers are limited and we will initially be limiting to 2 people per \
organisation/project/site.

WHAT WILL BE DISCUSSED?
Our topics for the day will include on-premise (private) clouds, on-premise \
self-service (public) clouds, off-premise clouds (Amazon etc.) as well as covering \
technologies including OpenStack, Docker, Kubernetes and security requirements around \
multi-tenancy. We probably don't have all the answers for these, but we'd like to \
understand the requirements and hear people's ideas. Please let us know what you \
would like to discuss when you register.

Arrival is from 10:00 with discussion kicking off from 10:30. The agenda is open \
discussion though we do aim to talk over a number of key topics. We hope to have the \
ever popular (though usually late!) pizza for lunch.

WHEN
Thursday 20th October 2016 from 10:00 AM to 3:30 PM

WHERE
IT Services, University of Birmingham - Elms Road Edgbaston, Birmingham, B15 2TT
