Ganeti is a robust cluster virtualization management software tool. It’s 
built on top of existing virtualization technologies such as Xen and KVM 
and other Open Source software. Its integration with various 
technologies such as DRBD and LVM results in a cheaper High Availability 
infrastructure and linear scaling.

This hands-on tutorial will cover a basic overview of Ganeti, the 
step-by-step install & setup of a single-node and multi-node Ganeti 
cluster, operating the cluster, and some best practices of Ganeti. 
Finally, deploying and using a web-based management tool called Ganeti 
Web Manager.

If you want to participate on the hands-on portion of the talk, feel 
free to clone his vagrant-ganeti repo on github 
(https://github.com/ramereth/vagrant-ganeti) prior to the meeting. We'll 
try and have the box images available on USB drives at the meeting but 
its always great to have everything setup prior to the meeting and not 
saturate the WiFi.
