Hi,

I would like to upgrade my lab in Cholargos/Athens/Greece and add a private cloud (compute node) mainly to be able to easily switch between a training set-up (multiple virtual machines processing power spread among them) and Yocto build (all/most processing power for one build). There should be an option to move parts of it to some public cloud (e.g. DigitalOcean) as well if needed.

Technologies used so far (needs to be upgraded):

1. Ubuntu 14 servers/HP ProLiant DL360 G5 with
1. Foreman/Puppet
2. Docker
3. KVM/Qemu
4. custom stuff/scripts to
• access build servers remotely
• power on/off embedded hardware
• access serial consoles
• access JTAG

1. ovirt
2. OpenStack

Feel free to contact me if you are interested here.

Electronic devices are designed around how electrons travel through different kinds of solids. This movement of electrons can determine the material’s conductivity, its band gap, and its optical properties.
