Talk title

Deploying an OpenStack infrastructure on a single server with Ansible

Talk Description

This talk will be based on this two part guest blog I wrote for Cumulus Networks: https://cumulusnetworks.com/blog/build-an-openstack-ceph-cluster-with-cumulus-networks-in-gns3-part-1/

In it I will discuss how GNS3 can be used to simulate your entire infrastructure and develop your playbooks, and how an entire highly available OpenStack/Ceph infrastructure can be brought up with virtually no manual intervention through a combination of cloud-init and Ansible. The talk covers a number of important concepts including whitebox switching, network automation with Ansible, building infrastructures, and even how to model an entire infrastructure on a single (albeit powerful) machine for a multitude of purposes including testing and developing Ansible playbooks.

Estimated Duration

30 mins but can be tailored to the time available.

Hey James, I know it's been many ~months~ years since you kindly offered to present this, though we are planning the next virtual meetup to be on Tuesday 19th April. Would that work?

We will use Matrix for chat, with YouTube (via Jitsi) for the video. We can have a dry-run in advance. It's the same setup we've used for the last few Ansible Contributor Summits.

Hi John

Great to hear from you and thanks for reaching out - yes absolutely - would love to. Is there an official invite going out, or when should I block my calendar from please?

Looking forward to it!

James

Also, do you already have an account on Matrix?
