Hi, team. I had a pretty daring presentation at PAX [1]. A late session, there were only 3 folks that showed up (interestingly all from Sweden); I couldn't ask for a better 3, though!
I presented both Tom and my materials as it was 90m and I was looking to use it wisely. Tom's deck is a great intro, and mine goes into a little more details, using some graphs Lars made on HBase. Looking for action, I did 2 demos.. -- zookeeper ec2 with whirr 0.6.0 == easy -- zookeeper ec2 with whirr 0.7.0, jclouds 1.3.0-SNAPSHOT == easy then I got cocky -- cassandra **cloudstack** with whirr 0.7.0, jclouds 1.3.0-SNAPSHOT == only a little work needed [2] Overall, I was quite happy with the audience and the performance of 0.7.0.. let's get it out the door! -A [1] http://www.cloudsoftcorp.com/events/jclouds-hands-on-whirr-pax-2011/ [2] we need to make our ec2-only firewall support work with other apis like cloudstack, possibly at jclouds level. Also cassandra scripts need to work when public IP is not plumbed to a local interface (static nat).
