Description

The session will cover techniques that will help experimenters:

1. Develop and manage complex experiments.
2. Gain a better understanding of what is happening with their experiment
3. Ensure experiments are repeatable and reproducible.

Topics to be covered include:

• Growing an experiment one dimension at a time (number of resources, number of aggregates, adding an OF controller, etc)
• Install/post-boot scripts
• Custom images
• Scripting experiments
• Experiment software version control
