Objective

I just had a successful presentation of this in the CloudCompute event in Mumbai last week. And hence would like to conduct a Workshop in which the attendees would be able to get their hands dirty by using Python to leverage the power of the cloud.

Description

Firstly the session will take them through a brief history of what is Cloud Computing and where exactly Python will come in handy. It will show them how popular Python is and how its influencing has been extending to the Cloud computing. We will see that there are client libraries available in Python for all the major cloud service providers like Google, RackSpace, Amazon EC2 and etc.
We will take one client library and use it to provision, update and purge VMs or Nodes

Requirements

If someone can boot a laptop and launch a terminal, they are welcome!
