I.T. CHALLENGES


WORKLOADS ARE EVOLVING

TRADITIONAL WORKLOADS

!

● Typically resides on a single large Virtual Machine

● Cannot tolerate any downtime ● Needs expensive high availability tools

found in VMware vSphere ● Application scales up rather than out

CLOUDWORKLOADS

!

● Workload resides on multiple Virtual

Machines ● Tolerates VM failure – if one fails, another

quickly replaces it ● Fault tolerance often built into workload ● Application scales out rather than up


CHALLENGES WITH A TRADITIONAL INFRASTRUCTURE

● Our data is too large ● We're producing vast amounts of data, exponentially! ● Way past the ability of traditional systems & applications ● Scaling UP no longer works. Scaling OUT is a necessity

● Service requests are too large ● More and more client devices coming online ● Much harder to maintain service to customers

● Applications weren't written to cope with demand


WHAT IS OPENSTACK?


OPENSTACKCLOUD INFRASTRUCTURE FOR CLOUD-ENABLED WORKLOADS

● Modular architecture

● Designed to easily scale out

● Based on (growing) set of core services


Ecosystem of hardware and software


WHY OPENSTACK

● Brings public cloud-like capabilities into your datacenter

● Provides massive on-demand (scale-out) capacity ● 1,000's → 10,000's → 100k's of VMs

● It's OPEN! ● Provides flexibility to customize and interoperate

● Community development = higher “feature velocity”

● Features and functions you need, faster to market over

proprietary software


● 65% of respondents have deployed or are planning to deploy OpenStack®

!● 62% of respondents plan to use

OpenStack for a private cloud infrastructure

!● 42% of respondents need OpenStack for

massive scalability

WHY RED HAT?


OPENSTACK

● Needs to access x86 hardware resources

● Needs an operating environment, hypervisor, services

● Leverages existing code libraries for functionality


OPENSTACK

● It is dependent on the underlying Linux...

LINUX


RED HAT ENTERPRISE LINUX


OPTIMIZED FOR AND CO-ENGINEERED WITH RED HAT ENTERPRISE LINUX


THE IMPORTANCE OF INTEGRATION WITH LINUX...

● A typical OpenStack cloud is made up of at least 10 core

services (Nova, Cinder, Keystone, Neutron, glance, etc) +

plugins to interact with 3rd party systems – eg. storage

arrays, network switches.

● These services run on top of a Linux distribution with a

complex set of userspace dependencies, requiring tight

integration

● A supported, stable platform requires integration and

testing of each of the components


● Many of the most complex features are provided by Linux

with OpenStack providing management and orchestration ● For example: virtualization provided by the KVM hypervisor, with

libvirt management interface, interacting with Open vSwitch

userspace switch, transitioning to the kernel's networking stack to

handle network namespaces – Each potentially managed by different

OpenStack services.

● These components need to be engineered & productized

together ● OpenStack cannot be productized as a layered product



● Examples of RHEL optimized enablers for OpenStack: ● Virtualization – guest performance, reliability, and Windows ● Security - SELinux enforcing guest isolation ● Network – SDN/OVS performance optimized ● Storage – vendor plugins, performance, thin provisioning ● Ecosystem – certification of hardware, storage, and networks

!

● The pairing of the Linux operating system and OpenStack is so tight

that Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform is the only

combination that can most effectively support functionality,

performance, security, system-wide stability, and ecosystem support

HOW DO WE GET FROM

COMMUNITY OPENSTACK TO

RED HAT OPENSTACK?


RED HAT LEADS THROUGH OPEN INNOVATION


OPENSTACK RELEASE CADENCE

● Upstream

● Source code Only

● Releases every 6 month

● 2 to 3 'snapshots' including bug fixes

● No more fixes/snapshots after next release

● RDO

● Follows upstream cadence

● Delivers binaries


OPENSTACK RELEASE CADENCE

● Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform 5

● 6 Month cadence

● Roughly 2 to 3 months AFTER upstream

● Time to stabilize, certify, backport etc.

● Increased to 3 year lifecycle

● e.g., Support for Havana ends after “K” release

● Will continue to increase lifecycle over time ● Based on upstream stability and resources


HOW DO I KNOW IF I AM

READY FOR OPENSTACK?


VIRTUAL MACHINE WORKLOAD TYPESTRADITIONAL

(RHEV)

CLOUD (OpenStack)

MIXED/HYBRID

Big stateful VM Small stateless VMs Combination of Traditional

and Cloud VMs to provide

application. Database may

be hosted on traditional

workloads, web front-end

and logic layers on cloud

workloads.

1 Application → 1 VM 1 Application → Many VMs

Lifecycle in years Lifecycle hours to months

Scale up (VM gets bigger) Scale out (add VMs)

Not designed to tolerate

failure of VM, so you need

features that keep VMs up

If a VM dies, application kills

it and creates a new one, app

stays up

Application SLA requires

enterprise virtualization

features (migration, HA, etc.)

to keep applications

available

Application SLA requires

adding/removing VM

instances to application

cloud to maintain application

availability
