Salle 203

LAL

Description

Overview

This tutorial will provide an overview of cloud computing followed by a detailed description of the StratusLab "Infrastructure as a Service" (IaaS) cloud distribution. The lectures will cover all of the compute, storage, and networking services and be followed by practical exercises.

The tutorial will be given in English.

The timetable below is preliminary. To have a better understanding of the contents of the training, please see the agenda for previous training events.

Registration

Registration is closed.

Fees

The event is free of charge and includes coffee breaks and lunch. Participants are responsible for arranging and paying for their accommodation. Evening meals are the responsibility of the participant.

Venue

The tutorial will take place at the Linear Accelerator Laboratory in Orsay, France. The laboratory is easily accessible by RER/Metro from Paris. Detailed information (French, English) on getting to the laboratory can be found on the lab's website.

We will be using LAL's training facility (building 203) which is just across the road from the laboratory itself. With your back to LAL's main entrance, walk directly across the street and go between the two buildings in front of you. Building 203 will be just behind the building on the right.

The maps below will be helpful in getting to the laboratory and training facility.

EVO

The tutorial will be broadcast via EVO.
You can use the password '172011' with this URL on Thursday 17th and '182011' with this URL on Friday 18th.

Preparation

Participants should bring a laptop with them for the tutorial.

Mac OSX, Linux: To save time during the tutorial, it would be helpful if your laptop already had python (version 2.6+, but not 3.x), java (version 1.6+), and an ssh client installed. The StratusLab client supports Mac OSX and standard linux distributions.

Windows Users: Unfortunately the version of the client that we're using in the tutorial (v1.9) has a large number of bugs in it when used on Windows. These have been corrected in the code base and will appear in the next release. If you have a Windows laptop, then be sure that you can log into a linux machine via your laptop. The client can be installed on that machine without root access.

Accommodation

A list of hotels can be found on the lab's website. Participants are responsible for arranging their own accommodation.
