The OpenStack meeting lightening talk is only 5 minutes, so the deck is mostly pictures that support points around a more detailed followup.

Here’s the deck: bootstrapping clouds preso

 and my Hyperscale white paper (links through Dell.com)

The theme of the talk is that hyperscale systems requires a fundamentally different management paradigm because at hyperscale

hardware faults are common,manual steps are impractical and small costs add up quickly.

Included in the preso are concepts I introduced at Flatness at the Edge.
