Setting Up the Netflix Cloud (Half-day Workshop)

About this Presentation

We want you to leave UberConf with a working cloud account, including supporting infrastructure that Amazon DOESN’T provide but that will make your cloud life way more manageable! Once your account is bootstrapped with Asgard and Aminator, we’ll be baking some of the myriad of @NetflixOSS apps. This workshop will be meaningful for anyone getting started with or currently using AWS.

This workshop provides a detailed hands-on experience to bring up the necessary components to run the @NetflixOSS stack. This includes priming your Amazon account (IAM Profiles, Security Groups, etc) and setting up Asgard and Aminator. Together they can be used, time permitting, to launch many more @NetflixOSS services, like Edda, Eureka and Ice.

To make best use of the time please bring a laptop, installed with JDK 7, an SSH client, Git, and Python (2.6 or higher with pip). Alternatively you can use a provided VirtualBox image. Also please have your AWS account created before arriving.
