LinuxCon North America/CloudOpen North America

Applications are evolving from a traditional database model to a sharded approach on commoditized hardware to achieve linear scalability. OpenStack, a RackSpace and NASA initiative, is an independent foundation. It defines APIs for compute, storage, networking, services, monitoring, and additional services. jclouds is an open source library that helps you get started in the cloud and utilizes your Java or Clojure development skills. The jclouds API gives you the freedom to use portable abstractions for cloud-specific features. It's a cross-cloud toolkit that works with both public and private clouds, enabling hybrid cloud workloads.

Attend this session for a technical overview of OpenStack and jclouds, an API for multi cloud access and see how to architect and implement solutions on an open IaaS that could adapt to the changing landscape and be a technologist’s cloud nirvana.
