Webinar: OpenStack for KVM with Ubuntu on IBM z Systems

Abstract: This session is divided into three parts, each with an equal time share of 15-20 minutes. We will start with a recap what Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) is all about to resolve some minor potential misconceptions. After that, an overview of the most important capabilities of OpenStack are shown. The most common (at least in the past) pain points and mitigations are discussed too. Eventually, after having enough context, we take a look at Ubuntu and OpenStack on z. This includes deployment, operations and supported features. This session will bring you benefit if you're new(-ish) to OpenStack, evaluating IaaS solutions, and care about the user/operators-view.
