OpenSolaris and Storage in the Cloud Mark Carlson [email protected]
LISA 2009 BOF
Overview • So what is the “Cloud” • Cloud Computing • Cloud Storage • Amazon EC2 • OpenSolaris EC2 images • SNIA’s CDMI
LISA 2009 BOF
What is the “Cloud”? • A new business model > Don’t buy equipment > Rent it for only as long as
you need it > Pay for only what you use
• Provider balances multiple tenants > Elastic demand of each is
variable > Optimize the usage across
all the demand loads to save costs
> Bundle in the “administration” of resources
• Implications: > Cheaper? > Drives down cost of
administration > Scale out type of
applications • Myths > Just another word for hosting > Isn’t this just Grid? > Only new applications > Not as secure > Do I really want my data
“public”
LISA 2009 BOF
Cloud Computing • IaaS – Infrastructure as a
Service > Roll your own “stack” in a
virtual machine > Pay for the resources you
use • PaaS – Platform > Use a platform to write your
apps that can then be hosted in the cloud
• SaaS – Software > Formerly called Application
Service Providers > Can be built on PaaS or
IaaS
• What about private clouds? • Can they leverage what
they have and move to a cloud paradigm for internal customers?
• Can I utilize the cloud for both legacy and green field applications?
• What additional capabilities can I take advantage of?
• What are the guarantees on my cloud storage?
LISA 2009 BOF
A look at some existing Cloud APIs • What are some of the offerings and their Data
Storage Interfaces?

Amazon EC2 http://aws.amazon.com/solutions/global-solution-providers/opensolaris/
LISA 2009 BOF
Getting Started with OpenSolaris EC2
Step One: Open an Amazon EC2 and Amazon S3 account Step Two: Access to OpenSolaris AMIs Step Three: Provision OpenSolaris on Amazon EC2 Step Four: Get Support

Some Interesting AMIs • Security Enhanced OpenSolaris 2009.06 AMP
Stack AMI > ami-e0b05389, ami-7a2a010e (Europe)
• Immutable Service Containers on OpenSolaris 2009.06 > ami-48c32021, ami-78567d0c (Europe)
• Drupal with AMP Stack Hardened OpenSolaris > ami-d8614aac aki-661c3412 / ari-601c3414
• SailFin AMI on OpenSolaris 2008.11 > ami-9df312f4
• Lots more info at: http://blogs.sun.com/ec2/

What AMIs would be useful?
• Basic stacks that you would like to see supported by Sun?
> (of course you can always roll your own)
LISA 2009 BOF
Other possibilities • Amazon now offers a separate fully managed
instance of MySQL > 5 sizes: 1.7 – 64 GB Memory, up to full 8 cores > http://aws.amazon.com/rds/
• ZFS snapshot, backup to S3 > http://developers.sun.com/solaris/articles/
storage_utils.html • OpenSolaris Dynamic Service Containers > http://kenai.com/projects/dsc/
LISA 2009 BOF
Standards progress • What about moving from cloud to cloud? • How much do I redo interface code? • What about Data Portability? • OGF has produced a Cloud Computing standard
(draft) called Open Cloud Computing Interface
• SNIA has produced a Cloud Storage standard (draft) called Cloud Data Management Interface

Cloud Data Management Interface
LISA 2009 BOF
CDMI Overview
13
LISA 2009 BOF
Model for the Interface The resources which are accessed through the RESTful interface
LISA 2009 BOF
Data Object Example
LISA 2009 BOF
Get the Data
16
LISA 2009 BOF
CDMI Containers • CDMI uses hierarchies to enable simplified
management > Data System Metadata can be specified on a container,
and inherited by all child objects.
LISA 2009 BOF
CDMI in Cloud Computing
18
A single cloud computing infrastructure can implement both the OCCI and CDMI interfaces
The infrastructure abstracts the configuration of the networking and virtual machine details and uses the standard interface merely to define connectivity
A cloud computing client can then utilize the interfaces to both specify the data requirements and then use that data for guests
LISA 2009 BOF
Getting the right Service levels
LISA 2009 BOF
What do you want to see in a Cloud Computing or Cloud Storage interface standard? • Any projects on the horizon to use the cloud?
• Setting up your own cloud?
• “Bursting” capability out to the cloud?
• What would make using OpenSolaris easier for your private clouds?
