Mirantis to Discuss Continuous Deployment

Jason Venner, senior director at Mirantis, a leader in engineering services for OpenStack™ Cloud, will be a featured speaker at Cloud Computing Expo East 2012, on June 14 in New York.

OpenStack is one of the most popular open source platform for building private and public clouds. The number of code commits and the engineering velocity of this project is matched by no other research adoption in history. During OpenStack is merely two years old, there have been six production releases of it. Those who opted to deploy an OpenStack-based cloud a year ago are now likely running production workloads on a version of OpenStack in other words three releases behind.

Venner will speak about ways to use continuous deployment practices for infrastructure, such as they have been used for some time at the application level of the software stack. Cloud service providers like Internap, Amazon, and Rackspace have adopted continuous deployment practices in the context of their infrastructure cloud offerings quite some time ago. Today, the proliferation of private clouds calls for a similar approach in the enterprise context.
