Cloudstack 101 - an introduction to Coudstack
Cloudstack is a hypervisor-agnostic open-source IaaS platform that orchestrates hypervisors and network appliances to facilitate control over cloud environments. It allows users to create and manage virtual machines, networks, firewall rules, and various network services like load balancing and auto-scaling. The platform supports a range of hypervisors and operating systems, offering flexible infrastructure solutions for both public and private cloud users.

Editor's Notes
- #4 I get asked a lot what is cloud – is it dropbox?Self service – means not the techies supporting the environmentElasticity – can grow and shrink the number of VMsScalability – 50 thousand nodes in ZyngaAPI - controllableResource account – who’s used what internal or external billing
- #5 Service providers – public create instances themselves and pay per-instance per-hour depending on the size of offeringAdd services such as vpn extra ip addresses backup etc.MSP add their own value-add
- #6 Service providers use cloud technology to provide instances in a more dynamical way
- #8 Create Advanced Zone environment which has multiple accounts and Templates:Windows templatesCentOSCentOS with http
- #9 It’s down to your imagination(time/budget)
- #10 Simple stuff but it’s then about what you do with these building blocksYou don’t need to be able to configure cisco routers and switches or be a vmware/xenserver/kvm guru
- #11 Create VM as a user (windows)EnablerdpCreate userCreate port forward to RDP on windowsLoad balancer ruleFirewall ruleLog in.
- #13 Two web servers behind a load balancer
- #15 PodsClustersHostsHypervisor types:Storage
- #16 Split mainstream vs others
