OpenStack is a global collaboration of developers and cloud computing technologists
producing the open standard cloud operating system for both public and private cloud.
OpenStack Compute project (code name - Nova) is OpenStack cloud controller part - a piece
of open source software in charge of managing a large network of virtual machines. It is
meant to be scalable, robust and hardware and hypervisor technology agnostic. It is also
written 100% in Python.
This talk will give an overview of Nova functionality and also try to dig deeper into some
of it's design choices. It aims to give and overview of a sample architecture of a modern
distributed system written in Python.
Finally - I will talk about where Nova as a project will go in the future, and how people can
get involved
