Hyper-V support for OpenStack Grizzly
- 1. Grizzly/Hyper-V Preview PETER POULIOT, CISSP MICROSOFT N.E.R.D. - CAMBRIDGE, MA
- 2. Intro Peter Pouliot, CISSP PPouliot@microsoft.com Education: BA Philosophy - Rhode Island College Certificate Windows NT Administration - Boston University CEC Oracle DBA 8i – Oracle University MS Telecommunication Security - Boston University MET College Graduate Certificate Digital Forensics - Boston University MET College Certifications: CISSP, MCSE+I, MCT (NT4/2000), OCP (8i), Network+ Spent last 9 years working on Datacenter Operations and Linux/Windows interoperability for Ximian/Novell/SuSE. May 2011 Deployed first Openstack/Hyper-V cloud while working in the Novell/Microsoft Joint Interoperability Lab March 2012 Started working to OpenStack for Micrsoft
- 3. Hyper-V Compute OpenStack can utilize the key features of Windows Server 2012 Virtualization Platform
- 4. OpenStack Grizzly Hyper-V Nova Grizzly Compute for Hyper-V Quantum Agent for Hyper-V Cloudinit functionality for Windows Workloads Cinder for Windows Storage Server FreeRDP Gateway Puppet Windows PE Provisioning.
- 6. Hyper-V driver WMI Currently V1 namespace (root/virtualization) V2 namespace used for live migration Complete migration to V2 for Havana Grizzly OS support Windows Server / Hyper-V 2008 R2, 2012 Windows 8 supported for development Havana OS Support New features will target 2012 and above only
- 7. Hyper-V driver disks Copy on write (CoW) implemented with differencing disks Reconnected and merged during snapshots Reconnected and merged on resize Not necessary for VHDX (Havana)
- 9. Quantum Network connectivity as a service Plugin based architecture Official plugins: Open vSwitch Cisco UCS/Nexus Linux bridge Nicira NVP Ryu OpenFlow NEC OpenFlow Big Switch OpenFlow Hyper-V
- 10. Hyper-V plugin Quantum plugin Runs in quantum-server Database based configuration Networks, subnets, ports Quantum agent Runs on any compute node Supports: Local (private vSwitch) Flat VLAN NVGRE (Havana) Communicates with plugin via AMQP L3 support: Using the Linux L3 and DHCP plugins
- 11. Hyper-V plugin Nova compute driver Creates the vNics (one per network) Does not connect them Quantum agent Creates the vswitch ports Sets the VLAN ID and proper vswitch mode For NVGRE creates instances of: MSFT_NetVirtualizationLookupRecordSettingData etc
- 12. Horizon Main UI Implemented in Python with Django Typically deployed on Apache with mod_wsgi Includes console access Currently only VNC RDP to be added for Havana
- 13. Hyper-V console Hyper-V provides console access via RDP, but using additional settings compared to a standard RDP connection Port: 2179 (instead of 3389) PCB: preconnection blob, contains the VM ID (a GUID) Passing the PCB is possible using: The Microsoft remote Desktop ActiveX control FreeRDP
- 14. FreeRDP Our solution is based on FreeRDP Fork is going to be merged with main repository Open Source RDP client (Apache 2) https://github.com/FreeRDP/FreeRDP Works on Linux, Windows and Mac OS X Web gateway based on FreeRDP-WebConnect https://github.com/FreeRDP/FreeRDP-WebConnect
- 15. Web Gateway Client HTML5 Works on any modern browser Web sockets for data transfer Canvas for painting Can be embedded in any web site Server proxy (wsgate) written in C++ Currently working on Linux can work on Windows
- 16. Dashboard integration Decoupling from VNC Create plugin that embed the canvas in the Dashboard Authentication layer Keystone token validation Logic for retrieving VM id from OpenStack instance ID Ask Nova about the instance details, in particular the Hyper-V host running it Get cached hypervisor credentials from keyring or similar Query the Hyper-V host about the RDP console port (2179 by default) Retrieve the VM id from the host given the instance name Perform connection via wsgate Alessandro Pilotti, Cloudbase Solutions, Webcast: http://bit.ly/VgwMvs
- 17. Instance initialization Guests require cloud specific customization on startup, e.g.: Hostname SSH keys Users / groups, password management Partition resize Static network configuration Custom scripts On Windows: Powershell, cmd.exe, bash
- 18. Metadata access Metadata needs to be provided to the guest: Metadata API, accessed via 169.254.169.254 Openstack or EC2 format ConfigDriveV2
- 19. Cloud-Init Project provided by Canonical Currently Linux specific GPL Windows Cloud-Init (cloudbase-init) Written in Python Apache 2 Very easy to install Supports any Hypervisor
- 21. Windows images Create VM Install OS Manual or unattended setup On KVM include VirtIO drivers Keep partition sizes as small as possible Apply SP / updates Install Windows Cloud-Init Sysprep Shutdown Copy instance to Glance
- 23. Nova Compute Installer Provides a very simple way to install OpenStack on a Windows compute node Can be executed fully unattended Installs a complete Python environment Generates Nova and Quantum configuration files Based on user input: Creates external virtual switches Installs the Quantum Hyper-V agent Enables live migration Enables the iScsi initiator service
- 24. Puppet Manifests for Windows/Linux Provisioning Puppet manifests for complete windows pxe deployment Compute pxe infrastructure to programmatically boot all openly available linux distributions Integration from wireline provisioning through configuration management.
