Often time there is the notion that with Docker, the Linux Container technology is going to replace server virtualization. The reasoning for this thought is that with Linux Container virtualize application on the operating system level in which the hypervisor is no longer needed.
Another camp of thought is that container does not have the robustness and enterprise ready feature such as resource allocation management, high availability or even manageability that can be offered by VMware.
We had an amazing time in Paris last week at the OpenStack Summit. Three days of packed TechTalk schedule meant that the crew didn’t get to see a lot of the Summit. Happily there is a fair amount of coverage available online. We produced a total of 72 videos at the summit, our highest

I first delved into the world of OpenStack about a year ago. I had heard it thrown around in meetings, and started seeing a fair bit about it on twitter. As I did more research I found out it began in 2010 as a research project between Rackspace and NASA. Which of course, only intrigued me further, since I’m a huge space nerd. I’ve also heard it come up in discussion more often than not in the last year or so.
We have only one month to go until the OpenStack Summit in Paris.
Below is the schedule of TechTalks at the summit, as you will see the three days of TechTalks is absolutely packed. We will be in room 126/127 of the Palais De Congres for the three days of the Main Conference. There will be people presenting all the time, so drop by and watch live.
We do still have spaces for more sponsors, contact alastair@vbrownbag.com for details.
