Openstack - Deploying a Virtual Machine with a spark data platform
Our objective here is to deploy an instance (virtual machine) and to be able to ssh into this machine. Spoiler: deploying an instance is straight forward. Being able to ssh into this instance and giving this instance the ability to connect to external networks is a little more challenging. You will still be able to explore the functionality of Openstack without this, so if you can’t achieve this don’t worry. I will be writing future blog posts with a full throated Openstack installation where we will be addressing the specifics of setting up all required networking.

UK & European Digital solidarity - OpenStack and Data Platforms - Installing OpenStack
Digital sovereignty is increasingly becoming a critical geopolitical imperative, especially for the UK and Europe. Ensuring control over our digital infrastructure is essential for maintaining autonomy and security. One way to achieve this is by leveraging open-source technologies. In the upcoming series of Blog posts I wish to explore the deployment of OpenStack to provide open source cloud computing, and the the use of free and open-sourced tooling with which to build a modern robust cloud data platform.

Set up a local spark data platform
Creating a spark data platform on a local machine can be useful for learning about spark and delta lakes when you may not have access to a cloud platform with technologies such as Databricks or Synapse/Fabric.
