Title:

A Developer's Cookbook to Leveraging Virtualization

Your vote:

Level:

Intermediate

Type:

Panel

Category:

Philosophical, Programming

Organizer:

Kimbro Staken , JumpBox

Description:

Virtualization is a trend that's reforming the landscape of hosting and ISP's but developers may not be aware of the benefits for running desktop virtualized environments for testing and development. The snapshot capabilities afforded by virtualization is a deadly arrow that should be in the quiver of every developer nowadays. This panel explores the basic to intermediate level of usage.

Kimbro is a shining light in the sea of virtualization. He knows his stuff and is well worth listening to.

Jumpbox is amazing. It'd be great to learn more about virtualization from Kimbro.

Kimbro is also author of the popular blog Virtualization Daily (www.virtualizationdaily.com) and one of the foremost authorities on virtualization technologies. I highly recommend this talk for any developer looking to take advantage of v12n (full disclosure: i'm his business partner).

Kimbro brings the perspective of building packaged server software which, from a single CD, will deploy on Linux, Mac, or Windows using VMWare, Xen, or Parallels. I expect this panel to be at the leading edge regarding deployment techniques and issues. (Disclosure: I'm a fan.)

Kimbro knows his stuff, and the success of jumpbox.com is validation of his expertise in v12n. (Disclosure: We shared a Pontiac in San Jose, and like the same beer)
