Ganeti

(a cluster of debian machines on your own laptop)

Ganeti is a cluster virtualization platform I help devloping at Google, which can help scheduling virtual machines on clusters of physical nodes, using various virtualization technologies, like KVM and Xen. With this talk I'd like to tackle the "for developer" aspect of Ganeti, and how I use it personally, on a platform which is most probably far away from what it was originally targeted to: my laptop.

The talk will feature an introduction of Ganeti 2.0 as a tool in general, the differences with the previous version (included in Debian Lenny) and its usage on a cluster of servers. Then I'll take a look at how you can use it on your personal development machines, for testing/building packages, testing network servers and protocols, and more. There will then be time for feedback, in which I hope to get suggestions from Debian people about how to do things better, or about features they would find useful for the development of this software.
