OpenStack Summit May 2015 Vancouver

Installing OpenStack is a well-known challenge. Upgrading OpenStack from Havana to Juno can be even more frightening; a badge of honor, an unlockable achievement, a trigger for PTSD. Stories of upgrade woes are passed around the community by battle-scarred operators like cautionary tales for those headed down the dark path. What kind of crazy person would embark on such a journey, to upgrade OpenStack deployments not just one, but TWO major releases, while trying to keep customer instances from being interrupted?


Jesse Keating from Blue Box is just that kind of crazy person! Attempting the nearly impossible, not just on one deployment, but many. Come hear how he and his merry band of OpenStack engineers accomplished this herculean task in a fully automated repeatable process. By the end of the presentation, you may just be brave enough to attempt it yourself!
