BayLISA May General Meeting

When:  2009 May 21 @ 19:30 (tonight!)
Place:  Yahoo campus, Sunnyvale, Building E, classroom 9
Topic:  The Xen of Virtualization:  Packaging applications for  
deployment in large scale virtualized environments

During this discussion we will cover some of the drivers for why you  
would choose this type of a deployment. We will then discuss some of  
the virtualization design and deployment choices. Following that we  
will highlight some of the engineering projects that Oracle's Linux  
engineers are working on that should make it easier, and more  
performant to deploy large scale virtualized environments.

We will then demo packaging an application using Oracle VM a Xen based  
virtualization environment, with Just enough OS. BayLISA attendees can  
expect to walk away with software, templates, and installguides -  
everything you need to try this out on a spare box at home.

Bring your laptop to be prepared to try it out hands on if you are  
feeling adventurous.
