Chris Hoge, OpenStack Foundation
This talk will provide an overview of the variety of ways that OpenStack can provide software defined infrastructure for high performance computing. Drawing from examples of existing research clusters, I will show how OpenStack services give users and operators flexible access to bare-metal servers, customizable networks, a variety of storage systems (including block, object, and file stores), and user management. I will also discuss the model of open development that powers OpenStack, and how researchers can actively engage our world-wide community to solve common research problems.
