OpenStack: Cloud computing built on Python

Episode #33, published Tue, Nov 10, 2015, recorded Fri, Oct 16, 2015

You've probably heard of Infrastructure-as-a-services (IaaS) cloud providers such as Amazon's AWS, with EC2 in particular, and to a lesser degree Microsoft's Azure cloud platform. But have you hear of OpenStack? It is an incredibly powerful IaaS platform which you can buy as a service or install in your own data center to build your own private cloud (yeah, private clouds, that's a thing). Flavio Percoco, who works at Red Hat and spends his days writing Python code for OpenStack is here to tell us all about it!
