Recently, public clouds are getting to a majority of infrastructures. For example, using containers, Docker, Kubernetes, Web applications, etc. Of course, public clouds are very convenient because they are very easy to use and cheap comparing to using physical machines. However, it's sometimes a bit boring for some people who want to know/manage the whole of the things such as physical network, storage, machines, etc. And also, an experience of building a tiny cloud with physical machines could be a very good opportunity to understand computer technologies. Moreover, it's fun for such people like me.

I had built a my own tiny private cloud with openSUSE and OpenStack on my own physical machines. And I'm now using it for some of purposes such as evaluating new Linux distributions, containers, Kubernetes, etc. I had allocated the budget around only 50k JPY (500USD) for building it. It's quite a cheap to build a cloud system, actually. However, it can be done with open source software and some tricks.

In this talk, attendees will get to know about the tiny private cloud how to build, issues/challenges, benefit and the potential capabilities of openSUSE.
