Expert Days 2018SUSE OpenStack Cloud

What is SUSE OpenStack Cloud

• You know of Cloud Compute right?

Maybe you use AWS or Azure?

• Allowing pay-as-you-go model for IT infrastructure and

toward dynamic software-defined service delivery.

• But you may need a capital investment that resides in

your control domain (data center).

• But need the same multi-tenant, agile, cloud scale

characteristics for this cloud service.

• That is where SUSE OpenStack Cloud comes in.

3

Why OpenStack?

• OpenStack is an open source software platform for cloud

computing. Mostly deployed as infrastructure-as-a-service

(IaaS), whereby virtual servers and other resources are

made available to customers.

• Manages multi-vendor hardware pools of processing,

storage and networking resources throughout a data center.

• Managed through a web-based dashboard, command-line

tools, or via RESTful web services.

• The OpenStack Foundation began managing

Openstack in 2010.

• More than 500 companies have joined the project.

4

How SUSE Works in OpenStack

• This is great with Cloud Native because you can

not only orchestrate VM’s but also Bare Metal and

containers.

• But why not manage the more traditional

workloads in your environments?

• We influence the leadership (Alan Clark and

Helion).

• Give back: our message of HA for the

Cloud was critical.

• It also helps that SUSE is in open source

generally, Linux, KVM, Xen, Networking, Storage

etc.

This Section Covered:

• SUSE is the most experienced vendor in delivering open source IaaS

Clouds with OpenStack.

• We are a key representative on behalf of any customer in that community.

• It is all built on core SUSE technology and we bring value to you.

• We have a mature, powerful, replicable deployment technology providing

broad support of other technologies.

• SUSE has augmented this with newer powerful capabilities. Be that with

HA in the Compute Plane, project support or SUSE OpenStack Cloud

Monitoring.

• The real value to you is what you can deliver with Software-defined

Infrastructure service delivery.

SDI Demo

10

HEAT Script

The Cloud Operator will get the

cloud and Project ready, adding

all the resources needed, then

pass to the consumers in the

Projects.

11

What is a HEAT Template

• This is a YAML (simple) script form (be careful of spacing).

• Define the variables under the “parameters” section.

• The “resources” section actually creates the virtual infrastructure

• As this has developed you are able to use many simple scripting

techniques (if, then, else, etc.)

• When combined with Cloud-Init (Cloud-init is a package that contains

utilities for early initialization of cloud instances) you have great versatility

in how the Virtual resources boot.

• Like all scripts remember to use a version management system such as

GIT and maybe adopt CI development.

12

HEAT and How it Brings SDI

• This is not a training session but,

• Simple yaml based scripting that takes the

resources available in the cloud you build and

can trigger all that once the script is ran.

• This is the engine that delivers, adaptive,

agile, tenant resources at cloud scale on

demand.

13

This Demo Showed

• With SUSE delivering such a robust,

powerful easy to use private cloud via

SUSE OpenStack Cloud you can start

to deliver highly elastic, cloud scale,

service infrastructure at the click of a

single button.

• This “code” the becomes an asset that

can be built upon, augmented and

used as many times as required.

Monitoring Demo!

15

BUT!

Managing It Can Be Tricky

• Faults can often be hard to isolate.

• There is a need to forecast usage

and capacity plan.

• Visibility is key.

• We work with great partners e.g.

(Micro Focus, Dynatrace, HPE)

• But SUSE now offers:

SUSE OpenStack Cloud Monitoring

16

Demo the Administrator View of the Cloud

• Show metrics and fault isolation

• Alerting

• Show Log management (explain how

difficult this is without ELK stack)

17

Summary

• Here we are able to show how the open

source community has responded to the

challenge of management with the

development of Monasca, ELK Stack,

Grafana and other technology.

• With SUSE OpenStack Cloud Monitoring,

the installation and quick access to well

designed dashboarding allows the Day 2

Management challenges of highly abstracted

environments to be met head on.
