To adopt or not to adopt


Complexity: The Primary Barrier to OpenStack Adoption

• OpenStack is not a “Product”

• Massive number of potential configurations

• Nova alone has 8 different virtualization drivers and over 700 unique configurable attributes

• 48 different Neutron plugins

• 69 different Cinder drivers

Architecture Challenges: Neutron & Network Nodes

ML2/OVS plugin

Network Nodes

Nova Glance Swift CinderServices Neutron Framework

Placement of these components is critical; They are in data path

and become bottlenecks

Advanced Services run on dedicated nodes. Limited HA.

Creation of new tenants requires careful sizing of components to maintain

performance level

VM traffic flow can be handled in kernel, in local user space or in network nodes with

different performance level
