SUMMARY:Open Firehawk: Hybrid Open Cloud Infrastructure & PDG
DESCRIPTION:Exhibitor Talks\n\nOpen Firehawk: Hybrid Open Cloud Infrastruc
 ture & PDG\n\nGraham\n\nOpen Firehawk is an initiative by Andrew Graham to
  automate direct access to cloud infrastructure at lower cost and with mor
 e control than prior solutions were able to offer. It also seeks to resolv
 e issues of vendor lock in – it is open source, community focused and seek
 s to provide as much render power to artists as efficiently possible. Part
 icularly for the Houdini user, it approaches heavy VFX scenarios by levera
 ging SideFX PDG to handle dependencies across multiple locations and avoid
 s transport of heavy data unless necessary.\n\nOpen Firehawk automates cre
 ation of VFX architecture with open source infrastructure as code. The des
 ign is fully automatable, and uses tools like Hashicorp Terraform, Vagrant
  and RedHat Ansible to procedurally build out from scratch any onsite and 
 cloud-based render nodes, schedulers (AWS Thinkbox Deadline), OpenVPN, and
  virtual NAS appliances (SoftNAS). This approach potentially enables usage
  with multiple cloud providers in the future.  We provision Deadline as a 
 scheduler which is free to use with AWS, and SoftNAS as it is the most aff
 ordable and performant NAS appliance that could be automatically provision
 ed in AWS with excellent support\n\nRegistration Category: Platinum Pass,
