- 1. Introduction to CloudStack: How to Deploy and Manage Infrastructure-as-a- Service Clouds with Apache CloudStack Geralyn Miller CloudStack Evangelism Citrix Systems July 18, 2012
- 2. 2 Agenda • Overview of CloudStack (15 minutes) • Demo of CloudStack (20 minutes) • Q&A with Support (25 minutes)
- 3. 3 CloudStack Background • Open source Infrastructure-as-a-Service platform, now under ASL 2.0 license • A proven cloud platform – Developed since 2008 by Cloud.com – Cloud.com acquired by Citrix in 2011 – Code base donated to the Apache Software Foundation in April 2012, where it is now an Incubator project – Version 3.0.2 available for download at www.cloudstack.org – Powering some of the world’s largest clouds today
- 4. 4 Who’s Building their Cloud with CloudStack? • MSPs and Telcos • Web 2.0 Companies • “Enlightened” Enterprises
- 5. 5 CloudStack Deployment Models Private Cloud Hybrid Cloud Public Cloud
- 6. 6 What is CloudStack? CloudStack is a scalable, multi-tenant, open source, purpose-built, cloud orchestration platform for delivering turnkey Infrastructure-as-a-Service clouds
- 7. 7 Feature Highlights • Broad Hypervisor support —XenServer, KVM, VMware, OracleVM • Scalable architecture —Support thousands of hosts and virtual machine guests • High availability —Configurations that provide automatic failover for virtual machines • Rich networking capability • Ability to define service level definitions with specific resource footprints • Choice of interfaces — Web UI, command line, REST-based API
- 8. CloudStack Infrastructure Overview • Host is the basic unit of scale. Hosts run a hypervisor or are bare metal. • One or more hosts of same hypervisor type are grouped into a cluster. All hosts in cluster have access to shared (primary) storage. • One or more clusters are grouped into a pod, usually with an L2 switch (think rack). • One or more pods are grouped into an avaliability zone. A zone has access to secondary storage. • One or more zones is controlled by a management server.

- 10. 10 Developers Love CloudStack • Open source (ASL 2.0) • Written in Java • Multiple APIs – Native CloudStack API – Amazon EC2 compatible API • Customizable Web UI – Rich AJAX client interface – Built on HTML/JSP, CSS, Javascript, jQuery • Active development community – http://www.cloudstack.org – Download binaries, source
- 12. 12 CloudStack and Apache • CloudStack 3.0.1 and all future versions are licensed under Apache License 2.0 instead of GPLv3 • CloudStack has been accepted into the Apache Software Foundation Incubator • Turns CloudStack into a truly community run project with governance provided by the Apache foundation • Why Apache? – Industry standard in OSS Foundations, “not controlled by Citrix” – 10+ years, 100+ projects, 800 developers – Well-known projects: Apache Web Server, Apache Tomcat, Hadoop, Cassandra, etc. • Citrix will deliver a full commercial of implementation of CloudStack, called CloudPlatform
