DIY NoSQL: Spinning up services with Whirr

Whether it's HBase, Cassandra or one of the many others, you've probably already heard about NoSQL. Perhaps you have a continuous test flow dependency, yet are concerned about learning curve or
infrastructure required for the NoSQL store you need.

During this talk, you'll see how you can transform infrastructure clouds such as Amazon EC2 or GoGrid into your data cluster using Apache Whirr.

We'll start by reviewing cloud provisioning and how Whirr adds service management to the underlying jclouds ComputeService API. You'll then learn whirr syntax and how to use it from the commandline or via a Java API. Finally, we'll discuss patterns for workflow integration. When you leave, you'll know how to setup and use NoSQL stores with a lot less work.
