Leverage the power of the Cloud using Python

Objective

To demystify the cloud for those of us for whom the cloud is still cloudy and show how to tame the cloud using the power of Python!
After having attended this workshop the attendee would be able to understand the fundamentals of the cloud and concepts around "Infrastructure Automation" and "Infrastructure as Code".

Description

"Infrastructure Automation" and "Infrastructure as Code" are the latest trends in the world of Cloud Computing. These terms shouldn't intimidate us once we get a "hands on" session! I had presented in the year of 2013 at the International Cloud Connect event on "leveraging the power of the cloud using python" and I will be improvising on it and being a python enthusiast will give you a hands on first hand experience on using the radically simple IT automation platform--Ansible.
Ansible is written in Python and has inherited its simplicity! You will get to try out how it makes your applications and systems easier to deploy. Which helps avoid writing scripts or custom code to deploy and update your applications— automate in a language that approaches plain English, using SSH, with no agents to install on remote systems.

Requirements

Any one who can fire up their laptop and launch a terminal and (preferably have python installed on it already) are welcome!

  Kindly provide the following:

  • Make requirements more specific. Is it not required to have ansible installed ? What version of Python to use ?
  • Add download links for requirements
  • Do provide videos of your previous talks, if any. They are crucial for the panel to judge your ability as a speaker.

  Apologies for the delay in replying Kiran,

  1. The basic criteria for this session would be if a person can boot up a computer, that should be sufficient. It would be good if the attendee can have Virtualbox installed on their machine, https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads.
     I will be providing the full appliance to be imported which will have everything already installed and configured.

  2. https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads

  3. I am not sure about where the video recording of my session is, seems like I've lost it, but you can see my speaker profile with "C" level executives on this link http://www.cloudconnectevent.in/speaker-profiles
     and the slide deck used then is on this link https://www.slideshare.net/VenuMurthy/python-andcloud

  Hope that helps!
