We all hear the IT world throw around the “DevOps” buzz word but where does OpenStack fit into this? Meta-Do’s and Dont’s is a hands-on workshop that will unlock the power of the OpenStack Metadata Service. It will provide the history of Metadata services found in other Cloud platforms and how OpenStack has facilitated its use with the implementation of the Neutron Metadata Service and ConfigDrive. Participants will not only learn about the power of the Cloud-init package but receive credentials for a live OpenStack environment and become automation pros by booting live instances and personalizing them with keypairs, files, and powerful scripts. Audiences will even learn how to utilize the Metadata Service to leverage existing configuration management tools such as Ansible and Puppet so that they can bring their OpenStack skills to the next level!
