Videographer: Ernest Parke
Cloud Computing popularized the idea of “pets vs. cattle” for Virtual Machines. VMs are scaled up and down as needed, as long as there is hardware available. Can we apply Infrastructure as Code to achieve this type of elasticity with hardware in our physical data centers? Production-grade IaC relies on out-of-band management hardware. How can one get hands-on experience with IaC without access to a server-grade lab with baseboard management controllers and the associated networking equipment?
This technical session will cover the fundamentals of IaC and include a live demonstration of IaC techniques to deploy a minimal learning lab using OpenStack, KVM, and VirtualBMC on a single laptop. Familiarity with system administration, virtualization and networking is recommended. Attendees will come away with a better understanding of:
IaC hardware deployment and configuration
Configuration templates
Baremetal as a Service
Virtual Networking
