The Next Generation Datacenter
- 1. THE NEXT GENERATION DATA-CENTRE Scalable Infrastructure with Red Hat Enterprise OpenStack Platform Gavin McDougall Senior Solution Architect
- 2. AGENDA ● I.T. Challenges ● What is OpenStack ? ● Why OpenStack ? ● Why Red Hat ? ● Community Contributions ● Am I ready for OpenStack ? ● What's coming ? ● Supporting Cloud Infrastructure ● Next Steps ● Questions
- 3. I.T. Challenges in Enterprise Businesses
- 4. EXISTING EMERGING ● Dynamic applications that scale to meet demand ● Open source is well understood and widely adopted ● Software-defined infrastructure across compute, networking, and storage ● Compressed innovation cycle ● IT as a competitive advantage ● Applications with predictable usage models ● Open source perceived as unknown and risky ● Compute-centric infrastructure ● Long innovation cycle ● IT as a cost center Seismic Shift in Enterprise IT Driven by IT “Consumerisation”
- 5. Application demands are becoming more complex Application infrastructure is becoming more diverse IMMEDIATE PERVASIVE AWARE CLOUD MOBILE INTERNET OF THINGS BIG DATA AUTOMATION ABSTRACTION Application Development is Changing in Response
- 6. 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 ● Mobile phones, tablets, etc. – Much harder to maintain service to customers ● Applications weren't written to cope with demand
- 8. Cloud Infrastructure For Cloud-Enabled Workloads ● Modular architecture ● Designed to easily scale out ● Based on (growing) set of core services
- 9. Why OpenStack? ● Brings public cloud-like capabilities into your data-centre ● Provides massive on-demand (scale-out) capacity – 1,000's → 10,000's → 100k's of VMs ● Removes vendor lock-in – Open source provides high-degree of flexibility to customise and interoperate ● Community development = higher “feature velocity” – Features and functions you need, faster to market over proprietary software
- 10. ● Top OpenStack Priorities ● 44% Increased emphasis on certified hardware ● 44% commercial OpenStack support ● 43% integration with open source management initiatives Source: IDC Red Hat Hybrid Cloud Management Survey, October 2014 Plan to use OpenStack APIs to enable management integration across infrastructure Expect vendors will leverage OpenStack in next-generation products Will implement a 100% OpenStack Cloud Unsure 43% 27% 11% 12% 18% What Role Does OpenStack Have in Your Cloud Strategy?
- 11. WHY RED HAT ?
- 12. OpenStack: Framework for the Cloud ● Needs to access x86 hardware resources ● Needs an operating environment, hypervisor, services ● Leverages existing code libraries for functionality
- 13. Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform ● It is dependent on the underlying Linux ● Optimised and Co-Engineered with Red Hat Enterprise Linux
- 14. A typical OpenStack cloud is made up of at least 9 core services + plugins to interact with 3rd party systems ● These services run on top of a Linux distribution with a complex set of user space integration dependencies ● OpenStack cannot be productised as a stand alone layer ● A supported, stable platform requires integration and testing of each of the components “If your Windows virtual machine hosted by a KVM hypervisor running on an IBM blade, connecting to an EMC storage array through an Emulex HBA has issues with storage corruption, who do you call?” The Importance of Integration with Linux Red Hat Supported Guests OpenStack KVM RHEL Hardware
- 15. ● 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 Red Hat Enterprise Linux: Optimized Enablers for OpenStack Linux Kernel Security Enhanced Linux (SELinux) KVM Network Stack Device Drivers Red Hat Supported Guests OpenStack KVM RHEL Hardware
- 16. Red Hat Enterprise OpenStack Platform: A Complete Solution

Red Hat's OpenStack Leadership Why Do These Statistics Matter? ● Proof that with Red Hat's near 20 year history in open source, we have the experience and resources to: ● Support production-ready customers globally ● Drive new features ● Influence strategy and direction of project ● Enable partner collaboration ● Wide ranging participation, contrasts with most others who are more narrowly focused ● All of these efforts allows us to create an enterprise-grade distribution with ecosystem, lifecycle, and support that customers expect from Red Hat
- 26. Red Hat Leads Through Open, Community Innovation
- 27. From Community to Supported Product... Enterprise hardened Red Hat OpenStack technology optimised for and integrated with Red Hat Enterprise Linux Red Hat Support Red Hat ecosystem certifications 3 year lifecycle Bleeding edge upstream OpenStack source code Unstable community Linux No certifications Community support Six month lifecycle Bleeding edge upstream OpenStack packaged as RPMs Enterprise Linux distros (CentOS, RHEL, Fedora) No certifications Community support Six month lifecycle
- 28. OpenStack Release Cadence ● Upstream – Source code Only – Releases every 6 months – 2 to 3 'snapshots' including bug fixes – No more fixes/snapshots after next release ● RDO – Follows upstream cadence – Delivers binaries
- 29. OpenStack Release Cadence ● Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform – 6 Month cadence – Roughly 2 to 3 months AFTER upstream ● Time to stabilise, certify, backport etc. – 3 year “production phase” lifecycle ● e.g., Support for Juno ends at the “P” release – Will continue to increase lifecycle over time ● Based on upstream stability and resources
- 30. AM I READY FOR OPENSTACK ?
- 31. Virtual Machine Workload Types TRADITIONAL (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 virtualisation features (migration, HA, etc.) to keep applications available Application SLA requires adding/removing VM instances to application cloud to maintain application availability
