Sessions at Open Source Bridge 2011 about Cloud on Wednesday 22nd June

Ever wondered what would happen if you could rethink a decade worth of design changes? Drizzle is a redesign of the MySQL server targeted at web development and optimized for Cloud applications. Update yourself on the latest features, and use cases for Drizzle7 and what is in store for the near future.

In the talk we will delve into Drizzle's multi-master support features, replication, and why no group commit is required.

We'll also explore forecast for Drizzle, a database ? Brian provides an overview of the Drizzle project’s current state as well as what’s ahead.

In this session you'll see how open source is the cutting edge of Cloud. I'll show you Open Stack: a collection of open source technologies to deliver a cloud operating system. OpenStack has developed two interrelated projects: OpenStack Compute and OpenStack Object Storage.

• OpenStack Compute provisions and manages large groups of virtual private servers, and
• OpenStack Object Storage creates redundant, scalable object storage.

In this session I'll demonstrate:

• The components of Open Stack Compute and Storage
• Open Stack architecture and security, and
• How to use it including a Puppet-driven demonstration of installing Open Stack, building a web tier cloud and installing an application during the session.

In conjunction with the session the tools, Puppet code and documentation used to create the cloud will be available under a GPLv2 license.
