On August 17th, 2017 we took a part in European CloudStack users group meetup in London, which was held by the company ShapeBlue. Among the event attendants were several leading European developers and main CloudStack users, such as ShapeBlue, Nuage Networks, NetApp SolidFire, Itelligence AG, PCExtreme and others.
The meetup covered the CloudStack release 4.10, the developers presented their new and updated developments for CloudStack, as well as several conceptual reports on new ACS topologies based on the concept of Network Function Virtualization. More information about the reports topics could be found here.
Our team took part in the ClaudStaсk users meetup for the first time. Front-end team lead Ilya Zolotukhin presented CloudStack-UI project - an alternative user interface for CloudStack which our team has been developing since the end of 2016. The presentation was welcomed by the event participants with approval and discussion. Presentation slides could be found in our GitHub repo.
Bitworks CTO Ivan Kudryavtsev also had a meeting with the ShapeBlue team where preliminary agreements were reached on the intentions of the CloudStack-UI project transfer to the Apache Foundation, which will have positive impact on the development of the product in the CloudStack ecosystem and help to increase the community involvement in the development.
