Description:

While architecting and installing OpenStack clouds often draw the most attention from developers, technologists, or system administrators charged with building public and private cloud infrastructures, many people overlook the larger and far more important task of managing the cloud. As OpenStack has matured, tools and processes have improved immeasurably. This webcast will introduce advances in OpenStack cloud management, as well as reintroduce some old standbys.

You'll learn about:

• Tools that OpenStack cloud operators are using to manage their cloud
• Gathering important data from your cloud
