[Starlingx-discuss] Hands-on workshop at the OpenInfra Summit

[Waines, Greg]

In the previous workshop, 
We used one machine per person ... and they had that machine to do a virtual install.
So maybe if we planned for 50 people max ... we could reserve 50 servers from Equinix.

Hi Greg,

Great, thank you!

Would the workshop need one machine or multiple servers?

Thanks,

While that infrastructure is currently not available, their offer to provide the community with HW for purposes like this still stands.
