==== Details ====

Our main talk is <b>Vagrant + Virtual box for SysAdmins</b> by  <b>Alvaro  
Miranda</b>.

<blockquote><i>Quick show what vagrant is, how to use it, and some  
implementations. I have implemented a "build my own cluster" in a box with  
Vagrant and I use to create multi node clusters for Oracle RAC. The talk  
won't be around Oracle RAC/RDBMS, will be just on the automation of virtual  
machines. This video shows how I am adding a 3rd node to a 2 node cluster.
