WORKLOADS ARE EVOLVING

TRADITIONALWORKLOADS

• 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

LINUX

OPENSTACK CORE PROJECTS

• OpenStack Dashboard (HORIZON)

• Dashboard

• Provides simple self service UI for end-users

• Basic cloud administrator functions

• Define users, tenants and quotas

• No infrastructure management


• OpenStack Compute (NOVA)

• Core compute service comprised of

• Compute Nodes – hypervisors that run virtual machines

• Supports multiple hypervisors KVM, Xen, LXC, Hyper-V and ESX

• Distributed controllers that handle scheduling, API calls, etc

• Native OpenStack API and Amazon EC2 compatible API


• OpenStack Image Service (GLANCE)

• Image service

• Stores and retrieves disk images (virtual machine templates)

• Supports Raw, QCOW, VMDK, VHD, ISO, OVF & AMI/AKI

• Backend storage : Filesystem, Swift, Amazon S3


• OpenStack Object Storage (SWIFT)

• Object Storage service

• Modeled after Amazon's S3 service

• Provides simple service for storing and retrieving arbitrary data

• Native API and S3 compatible API


• OpenStack Networking (formerly QUANTUM)

• Network Service

• Provides framework for Software Defined Network (SDN)

• Plugin architecture

• Allows integration of hardware and software based network solutions


• OpenStack Block Storage (CINDER)

• Block Storage (Volume) Service

• Provides block storage for virtual machines (persistent disks)

• Similar to Amazon EBS service

• Plugin architecture for vendor extensions

• eg. NetApp driver for Cinder, HP drivers for 3Par & StoreVirtual ...

• OpenStack Orchestration (HEAT)

• Template-based deployment orchestrator

• Automates deployment of compute, storage, and networking resources

• Provides AWS CloudFormation implementation for OpenStack

• Deploys composite cloud applications to OpenStack


• OpenStack Telemetry (CEILOMETER)

• Monitors, collects, and stores usage data for all OpenStack infrastructure

• Primary targets metering and monitoring with expandable framework

• Provides API access to usage data for OSS and BSS systems



• OpenStack Identity (KEYSTONE)

• Identity Service

• Common authorization framework

• Manages users, tenants and roles

• Pluggable backends (SQL, PAM, LDAP, etc)

WHAT'S COMING?

TECH PREVIEW: SAHARA

• OpenStack Data Processing (Sahara)

• Provisioning and management of Hadoop or Spark clusters

• Help identify and improve utilization of unused compute power from general purpose OpenStack IaaS cloud

• DNS as a Service (Designate)

• REST API for domain/record management

• Support for PowerDNS and Bind9 out of the box

Coming Soon: TROVE

• OpenStack Database-as-a-Service (TROVE)

• Provides scalable and reliable Cloud Database as a Service provisioning functionality

• Supports relational and non-relational database

engines (MySQL, MongoDB, Cassandra, … )

• BareMetal Provisioning (Ironic)

• Provisions KVM compute node

• Manila (shared files) – Zaqar(Queueing) - ...
