Talk Description: Cloud Computing is a paradigm shift toward automation and utility computing. It features on-demand, self-service, pay-as-you-go, seemingly infinite capacity of computing resources. Anyone with an Internet connection can obtain anything-as-a-service. But there is more to Cloud than Amazon Web Services and other public cloud providers. Using open source software, you can build a private cloud and gain the same benefits in terms of agility and efficiency through automation. In this talk we will survey the landscape and demonstrate leading projects, defining a path from bare metal all the way to continuous delivery and operations. Because Cloud would not be possible without DevOps, we will pay special attention to the DevOps toolchain.
