The presentation will describe the OpenNebula project for data center virtualization, with a focus on how to deploy OpenNebula-based private clouds and its unique features to tune and adapt it to any technology in the cloud and virtualization ecosystem. The target audience are developers and IT administrators interested in deploying a private cloud solution, or in the integration of OpenNebula with other projects. The talk will be useful for both people with experience or without prior knowledge of OpenNebula, as it will start by introducing the project and its main features, along with a quick demonstration. Although this is not a hands-on tutorial, by the end of the presentation attendees will have a comprehensive idea of the integration and customization capabilities of OpenNebula in different areas, like user authentication, virtualization, storage, networking, etc.
