The difference between the scale up model used in virtual datacenter management tools like oVirt and vSphere and the cloud's scale out model used in OpenStack and CloudStack has historially used the pets versus cattle model. But what if there was another way to describe how virtual machines are handled in the datacenter or the cloud? In this pop-culture talk, Brian Proffitt will expain these concepts and present the idea that it's the starships of Starfleet and the fighters of the Empire and the Alliance that can better demonstrate the complexities of virtual machine management.

Listen up all you neck-bearded, hippy-dippy Linux nerds! You think Linux is all that and a bag of chips? Well, you're wrong. Windows is the true king of awesome operating systems. Give Bryan Lunduke a few moments of your time and he'll prove it to you. (Note: If you've seen the "Linux Sucks" videos, that'll give you a hint for what to expect. In other words... "watch the whole thing before punching Bryan in the face".)
