OpenStack Summit Tokyo - Day 1

28 Oct 2015

Day number 1, or my second day in Tokyo started a bit early, but, that worked out well, as I managed to get a good feel for the city by taking a quick jog around:

From there, the Summit started in ernest.

Day 1 Keynote

Rather than a live blog or some running notes with commentary, I’ll just call out a few highlights:

• Official certifications
• My teammate @eglute rocked the keynote!
• Yahoo Japan runs a HUGE OpenStack deployment, 50k instances, 20+ clusters. 2x growth YoY
• NTT wins the Superuser Award

Day 1 Book Signing

Book signings I’ve done in the past have lasted 10-15 minutes, and generally ran through a few hundred books in that time. This time we came prepared, with what feels like 500+ books each day of the summit:

Of course the action shot has me not doing any work:

After this, was a lunch chosen by menu pictures, and a LOT of #vBrownBag sessions.
