OpenStack?What is

More than…

…cloud infrastructure software

…a global open source community

…a collaboration among technology vendors

The platform ecosystem for the cloud

‣ Different than other cloud software or services

‣ Creates the most value for users

OpenStack Mission

To produce the

ubiquitous open source cloud computing platform

that will meet the needs of public and private clouds regardless of size, by being simple to implement and

massively scalable.

OpenStack Founders – The Story

Three years in…

‣ Expanded scope now includes Compute, Storage, Networking, Shared Services and emerging Integrated projects

‣ OpenStack has public clouds in more cities than Amazon has regions

‣ Major private cloud users at Best Buy, Bloomberg, Comcast, Fidelity, PayPal, Sony and more

‣ OpenStack has become the center of cloud innovation – more than 1,000 developers, supported by major IT companies

So how does it work?

PRETEND THIS IS A SERVER

OpenStack Cloud PlatformTechnology Platform

Code available under Apache 2.0 license. Design tenets – scale & elasticity, share nothing &

distribute everything

Compute Provision and manage large pools of on-demand computing resources

Object Storage

Petabytes of reliable storage on standard gear

Block Storage

Volumes on commodity storage gear, and drivers for more advanced systems like IBM, EMC, HP, Red Hat/Gluster, Ceph/RBD, NetApp, SolidFire, and Nexenta

Networking Software defined networking automation with pluggable backends

Dashboard Self-service, role-based web interface for users and administrators

Shared Services

Multi-tenant authentication system that ties to existing stores (e.g. LDAP), Image Service

Automating your applications

19

What can you automate?

• Infrastructure and provisioning, configuration

• Complete application testing

• End-to-end application deployment

• Deep application monitoring and pro/re-active response (i.e. scaling)

Why is true automation possible now?

How does this help me?

Time-Based Release Cycle

New software release every six months, with interim milestones – 7 releases so far, current is “Grizzly”

Twice Yearly Design Summits

Immediately following software release to plan next version Sessions led by developers and Project Technical Leads

Broad Contributions

1000 developers, from over 50 companies worldwide

Elected Leadership

Developers elect their own Project Technical Leaders – a true meritocracy
