Demo

Resources to use to setup and use environments containing Aeolus.

The following is suggested for a robust demonstration of Aeolus capabilities:

2 workstations - one to serve as one or more ‘external’ cloud providers and one to serve as the Aeolus server controlling this.
‘’’Highly suggested’’’ to not rely on external cloud resources (such as EC2 or other), networks at conferences are almost always unreliable, and many operations (eg uploading images) take time
One workstation could be used, though it is conceptually nice to show Aeolus in one location controlling external cloud resources
Cloud provider workstation: (reqs will vary depending on the providers), a minimum of 3GB of memory 250GB of disk space and hardware virtualization is required
The Aeolus workstation: hardware virtualization is required
Fresh Fedora 17 install, Aeolus is available to existing systems, of various OS and Distro types, but to ensure you don’t lose any local data and that the config experience goes as smooth as possible an unused F17 system is desirable

Choice

It is good to begin and end the demo by cycling back around to the problem at hand at the solution Aeolus provides. Discussing vendor lockin, proprietary and custom apis, and price hikes, and how Aeolus can be used to mitigate all that (as just demonstrated).
