This document introduces OpenStack, an open source cloud operating system. It discusses how OpenStack provides a common platform for both private and public clouds by automating resource control and management. It highlights how OpenStack originated from Rackspace and NASA to address the lack of an existing solution that meets their needs. The document also summarizes key OpenStack components, stats on its community and adoption, and how Rackspace can help organizations deploy and support OpenStack clouds.

- 1. Introduction to OpenStack A Common Platform for Service Providers and Enterprises Jim Curry General Manager, Rackspace Cloud Builders & OpenStack.org jim.curry@rackspace.com Twitter: @jimcurry
- 2. About Me • Responsible for OpenStack.og and Rackspace Cloud Builders • Previously ran new business formation / corp dev (including launch of Rackspace Asia • 6 years at Rackspace • jim.curry@rackspace.com • @jimcurry
- 3. Why OpenStack? 3
- 4. Today Enterprises Are Building Clouds To… • Meet departmental resource needs and timelines • Control and monitor the environment • Respond to external cloud pressure Its simply a better way of consuming and managing IT infrastructure The path to cloud…. 4
- 5. Server Virtualization Was the First Step Hypervisors Provide Abstraction Between Apps and Servers HOST 1 HOST 2 HOST 3 HOST 4, ETC. VMs Hypervisor: turns 1 server into many “virtual machines” (VMs) ( W are ESX, Ci ri XEN Server, KVM , Et ) VM t x c. Hardware abstraction Better resource for each server allocation for each server 5
- 6. Other Building Blocks Are Required Abstraction Between Apps and Hardware …and any other infrastructure resource in the DC Flexibility & Resource pools for efficiency are the apps starting to key drivers form 6

- 9. OpenStack, the Cloud Operating System New Management Layer That Adds Automation & Control 9
- 10. This is OpenStack • A cloud operating system that turns datacenters into pools of resources – the next evolution from server virtualization • Provides a management layer for controlling, automating, and efficiently allocating these resources • Empowers operators, sys admins and end users via self-service portals (“I want AWS-type service!”) • Gives developers the capability to build cloud-aware applications via APIs 10
- 11. But It Goes Beyond A Single Datacenter… Enterprise Private Clouds Run Cloud Operating Systems Public Clouds Run Cloud Operating Systems 11
- 12. But It Goes Beyond A Single Datacenter… Imagine Having a Open, Common Platform Across Clouds… Seamlessly transporting workloads This is true Cloud 12
- 13. An Open, Common Platform is Here Private Public Clouds Clouds Run Highly Run OpenStack Scalable Software In Cloud Your Own Software Corporate DC Proven by or Colocation Some of the Facility World’s Largest Cloud Providers 13
- 14. Service Providers Are Adopting • Originated by Rackspace and NASA • Designed to scale cost effectively • Emerging standard backed by large ecosystem • Open source with no lock-in or license • No desire to build proprietary clouds 14
- 15. This Market Looks Really Familiar 15
- 16. The Rationale for One Open Platform • Both markets need a cloud operating system – significant technology overlap • Cloud orchestration should be commoditized, and we should all solve it together • True interoperability requires a common platform • Customers want to have one standard…ideally one that does not lock them in
- 17. Companies Using OpenStack Today • Service providers including…. 17
- 18. Why Did Rackspace Start This Project? is the best model for software development • Open source • No other existing solution – public or private – met our needs for building clouds • Customers are demanding a standard • We have a lot of experience to contribute • Support is our business, not technology 18
- 19. About OpenStack 19
- 20. The Pieces of OpenStack OpenStack Compute (Nova) OpenStack Object Storage (Swift) OpenStack Image Service (Glance)
- 21. The Pieces of OpenStack • Dashboard • Identity Management • Networking • Load balancers • Database • Queueing
- 23. Some Stats • 1,200+ active participants • 17 countries represented at Design Summit • 40,000+ downloads • Worldwide network of user groups (North America, South America, Europe, Asia and Africa)

- 27. Rackspace Cloud Builders 27
- 28. Rackspace Cloud Builders • Available to help service providers and enterprises build and support OpenStack clouds • Training, deployment and ongoing support • Key engineering resources driving OpenStack • Operational expertise from Rackspace Cloud 28
- 29. Deployment & Support • Reference architectures for public and private clouds • In any DC – customer, colo, etc. • Deployed via partners or Rackspace • Today deploying Diablo on KVM with roadmap for Xenserver, other features • Provide various support options • Engineering escalation (bug fixes, etc) • Co-manage your cloud (reactive and proactive support) • Remotely run your cloud 29
- 30. Training – Public & Private • Launched 9 public classes in Europe & US this year (Asia to be added in Q1 2012) • Intended for system administrators, developers, architects, anyone wanting to explore OpenStack • Delivered primarily through global network of partners • Certification program will be added in 2012 30
