[TriLUG] TriLUG July 12 meeting - OpenShift

[Jeremy Davis]

Topic: OpenShift
Presenter: Wesley Hearn
When: Thursday, July 12, 7pm
Where: Red Hat HQ, NCSU Centennial Campus, 1801 Varsity Dr, Raleigh, NC

Wesley Hearn will be presenting OpenShift, a cloud computing platform
as a service product from Red Hat.

This meeting is sponsored by Blue Cross Blue Shield of North Carolina,
the state’s largest health insurance company, providing service to
over 3.5 million North Carolinians. BCBSNC will have a representative
at the meeting to discuss insurance plans that they offer,
specifically for the self-employed.

Synopsis:
Wesley Hearn will be going over what Cloud computing is and where
OpenShift is inside the Cloud stack. After everyone has a grasp on
Cloud computing, he will go over how OpenShift differs from OpenShift
Origin. Then it is on to the semi-fun stuff, the different components
of OpenShift Origin and how they work together. Once Wesley has gone
over all of this, he will show you how to set up and deploy a local
install(he will be doing it in KVM) so you can develop and test your
application before you push it to OpenShift.
