Getting started with UrbanCode Deploy with Patterns 6.1.1.1 on Ubuntu 14.04
Getting your own private cloud is cool, connecting it to UrbanCode Deploy is pretty cool too, but adding a way to perform full stack deployments of complete environments is awesome. This article is a helper to get up and running, from here the sky is the limit to start talking about how you push your unit of deployment up from a code changes and configurations changes to talking complete environment deployments or updates to help improve quality of deployments.

Getting some images into OpenStack
When you first get started you have one or two canned images to play around with but this is probably not much use beyond kicking the tires and confirming that you have your configuration working properly. Inevidably you will need to add some pre-existing images or create your own, it is pretty easy to get started based on the current offerings from different OS vendors today to start with your favorite base OS and work from there.

Getting your feet wet with OpenStack
So I’m late to the OpenStack party but I have been playing with VirtualBox, KVM, ESXi, qemu, and other virtualization technologies for a while now and have a few of each running here and there. I primarily live in the development side of the house, but with the proliferation of agile, continuous integration, and now everyone moving to the continuous delivery type model being able to stand up infrastructure is the next major bottleneck for most development teams.
