DESCRIPTION
Darryl Eaton, Director Product Management at RightScale, led this session at the RightScale User Conference 2010 in Santa Clara. Session Abstract: RightScale ServerTemplates allow you to capture best practices for provisioning and automating cloud infrastructure. In this session, we'll explore how you can leverage the RightScale Platform to share ServerTemplates with others. Specifically, we'll walk through the steps to share and update ServerTemplates across your organization. We'll also show you how to publish ServerTemplates publicly for the whole world to use. This topic is best for IT members who are responsible for maintaining server configurations within their organizations, developers who would like to share work product within their group, and ISVs wishing to reach cloud users by publishing through RightScale.
