Title
Description
We've all heard how great the cloud is - but no one likes learning a new proprietary API if they don't need to. In this session, I'll demonstrate how you can develop, test and deploy ROR apps faster to HP's public cloud based on OpenStack technology. If you are new to the cloud or if you're just a CLI commando, I'll run through HP's Ruby CLI, spin up cloud servers and attach block storage faster than you thought possible. And, for Ruby Fog fans, I'll show you the HP Ruby Fog extensions that let you easily provision and manage cloud servers and storage using your favorite environment. Help us caption & translate this video! http://amara.org/v/FGaJ/

The video titled **"Flattening The Cloud Learning Curve Using Rails"** features Michael Murphy, a sales engineer at Hewlett-Packard (HP), presenting at Rails Conf 2013. The session focuses on how HP's cloud offering can enhance Ruby on Rails (ROR) development by making the process of developing, testing, and deploying applications easier and faster, particularly in the context of HP's public cloud based on OpenStack technology. ### Key Points Discussed: - **Introduction to HP Cloud and OpenStack**: - Murphy emphasizes HP's commitment to the Ruby community and OpenStack, which is a scalable open-source infrastructure service initiated by NASA and Rackspace. - HP is one of the top contributors to OpenStack, with extensive infrastructure designed for high availability. - **Features of HP Cloud**: - HP Cloud provides RESTful APIs and a robust services portfolio that includes Nova (compute), Swift (object storage), Cinder (block storage), and Quantum (networking). - The infrastructure supports multi-region data storage for improved data protection against disasters, achieving a 99.119% data protection rate and 99.995% uptime availability. - **HP Cloud Offerings for Ruby Developers**: - **HP Cloud Compute**: Users can easily provision and manage their own servers, providing a higher level of control compared to services like Heroku. - **Block Storage**: Elastic block storage options allow users to create storage volumes that can be associated with any server in their account. - **Development Tools and CLI Access**: - Murphy showcases the HP Cloud RubyGem Unix CLI tool, which allows developers to provision and manage servers from the command line easily, emphasizing automation and efficiency. - Scripts written in Ruby can authenticate and perform various actions, simplifying server management. - **Platform as a Service (PaaS)**: - Murphy introduces HP's PaaS offering, which is similar to Heroku, allowing developers to push applications to the cloud without dealing with low-level server management, facilitating a focus on application development. - He demonstrates how a simple command line input can push applications directly to the cloud, showcasing the speed and ease of deployment. - **Integration and Support**: - HP Cloud offers 24x7 support for its services and is developing integration with a wide array of partners to enhance functionality. - The presentation concludes with an invitation to the audience to visit HP's booth for more information and potential partnerships. ### Conclusions: - HP Cloud aims to empower Ruby developers by simplifying cloud interactions and providing robust infrastructure and support while ensuring high availability, making it easier to deploy and manage applications in the cloud. - Murphy encourages Ruby developers to explore HP Cloud offerings and the supportive resources available, highlighting a commitment to making cloud technology accessible and effective for all.
