Simple Flask App with javascript/jquery HTML that shows a number of truck icons based on random number of trucks returned by the app.

Use Mac or Linux computer with Python 2.7 and virtualenv installed.

Note: When you are done with the virtual environment, just run:

deactivate

The deactivate command returns you to your "normal" environment.

Now clone the humanitarian workshop repo to get the libcloud deployment code:

git clone http://github.com/rackerlabs/humanitarian-openstack

Run the libcloud code itself to deploy to the Rackspace Cloud with credentials provided in a libcloud.conf file copied from the template:

cd humanitarian-workshop
cp participants/code/libcloud.conf.template participants/code/libcloud.conf
vi participants/code/libcloud.conf
virtualenv venv
source /venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
python humanitarian-workshop.py

In about ten minutes you'll have a load balancer, two web servers, and a database server deployed. You can then enter the load balancer's public IP address returned the script in your web browser and see the Flask app. It should show a random number of truck icons with each reload.
